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.

\setupquotation[repeat=yes, middle=“] or
\setupdelimitedtext[quotation][repeat=yes, middle=“]
The repeat key specifies whether to put something at the start of
intervening paragraphs; the middle key tells us what to put there.
If you have time, could you add a note explaining those keys to
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupdelimitedtext
? I'd be much obliged.
Kind regards, and good luck with your work,
Sietse

Unfortunately, I get _two_ open-quote marks on the first paragraph and a
space between the open-quote mark and the first word of the other
paragraphs.

This works correctly
for me, using 20120916 23:18 MKIV:
\setupquotation[repeat=yes, middle=“]
\startquotation
bsdf
bsdf
bsdf
\stopquotation
Does it work for you? What version are you using? What code+version
doesn't work for you?
Cheers,
Sietse

Problem in my test file :( Works fine if I create a new file and put in
bits and pieces from my test file rather than running the whole thing.
I use the TexLive 2012 version but I tested with today's ConTeXt
standalone and got the same results.
Thanks!
