Hello,
I am trying to reproduce as closely as possible the large double quotes
in the attached file.
Though the actual glyph of the double quotes is not important for me (I
have
gone through the glyphs for CM without any success!), I would like to
keep the
double quotes large to attract attention to the quote.
So I have essentially two problems:
1. Get a close enough glyph. I tried standard double quotes and also
tried to
use ′′ (U+02033) with context name *m: doubleprime*. But it doesn't produce
anything. Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong.
2. Whatever may be the glyph, make is large.
I have tried *\quotation* environment but it enlarges the text as well.
I didn't see
any option for enlarging *only* the quotation marks in *typo-del.mkiv*.
So I tried to enlarge them myself. However, this leaves a large
interlinespace
before the last sentence.
I would be grateful for any suggestions though outright solutions
won't go remiss.
Devendra

Here are two solutions, one uses the delimitedtext mechanism. The
quotation marks are not printed within the quoted text, though.
The second solution using the annotation module fixes that.
\usemodule
[annotation]
\definesymbol
[MyLeftQuote]
[\raisebox-10pt\hbox\bgroup\getscaledglyph
{2.5} %% scale
{Serif} %% font
{“}\egroup]
\definesymbol
[MyRightQuote]
[\raisebox-10pt\hbox\bgroup\getscaledglyph
{2.5} %% scale
{Serif} %% font
{”}\egroup]
\setupdelimitedtext
[quotation]
[left={\symbol[MyLeftQuote]},
right={\symbol[MyRightQuote]}]
\defineannotation
[quotationTwo]
[alternative=command,
command=\QuotationCmd]
\define[2]\QuotationCmd
{\dontleavehmode\symbol[MyLeftQuote]%%
\placeannotationcontent\symbol[MyRightQuote]}
\starttext
\startquotation
\input ward
\stopquotation
\startquotationTwo
\input ward
\stopquotationTwo
\stoptext

There is an extra space before the right quote. So I added *\hskip-5pt*
before \symbol[MyRightQuote].
Thank you for the solution.

Devendra
