Subject: Multi-paragraph quotations according to AP
Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2012 16:20:59 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5060C0AB.3040701@meahan.net> (raw)
One of the things I do with ConTeXt is publish a newsletter. The
organization I publish for requires me to conform to the Associated
Press (AP) Stylebook for all grammar, punctuation and usage. The AP
Stylebook requires every paragraph in a quotation to have an "open
quotation mark" but only the last paragraph has the "close quotation"
mark at the end.
\startquotation .. \stopquotation easily takes care of the open on the
first paragraph and close at the end of the last. What I can't figure
out is how to put an open quotation mark on the intervening paragraphs.
I've tried various combinations of \setupstartstop and friends but
without success. Is there an easy/straight-forward way to do this?
Example (line spaces between "paragraphs" are for illustration purposes
only):
"This is the first paragraph. It has an open quotation mark but no
close. Blah, blah blah ....
"This is the second paragraph. It has an open quotation mark, too, but
no close. Blah, blah blah ....
"This is the third paragraph. It has an open quotation mark as well but
no close. Blah, blah blah ....
"This is the last paragraph and it needs a closing quotation mark, too."
Thanks, everyone.
