Greetings,

I would like to add a citation to a block quotation. Wolfgang proposed a
solution <https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg55956.html>back
in May 2011. With \star-stopquotation, the left quotation mark protrudes to
the left of the text. With Wolfgang's solution, the quotation marks are
aligned with the text. For consistency's sake, I need cited and non-cited
quotations to appear alike.

A lot has changed in the last nine years. Is there a newer way to
achieve this behavior?

Cheers,

Michael

Dear all,

I'm struggling with quotation blocks and proper placing of citations… In an ideal world I'd be striving for something like this:

\startquotation[source=…]
    \input tufte
\stopquotation

where … could be either of:

1. a simple string: {Edward Tufte},
2. a citation command: \cite[Tuf:yyyy]
3. a footnote: \footnote{See \cite[Tuf:yyyy]}

This should be typeset immediately after the closing delimiter and well before \stopnarrower.


In the real world (and with a deadline approaching rapidly) I've tried two approaches so far:

1. A hack dating back three years which bypasses the delimitedtext mechanism.

---
\long\def\startextendedquotation[#1]#2\stopextendedquotation
	{\bgroup\par
	 \blank[halfline]
	 \startnarrower[4em]
	 \symbol[leftquotation]%
	 #2\removeunwantedspaces
	 \symbol[rightquotation]#1
	 \stopnarrower
	 \blank[halfline]
	 \par\egroup}



\starttext


\input tufte

\startextendedquotation[\footnote{See Tufte…}]
    \input tufte
\stopextendedquotation

\input tufte


\stoptext
---

Here the footnote actually appears, however, the beginning of the quotation looks weird (and setting up margins etc. is a bit messy).


2. Another hack which employs delimitedtext but abuses its closing delimiter option:

---
\setupdelimitedtext
    [quotation]
    [leftmargin=4em,
     rightmargin=4em,
     spacebefore=halfline,
     spaceafter=halfline]



\starttext


\input tufte

\bgroup
\setupdelimitedtext
    [quotation]
    [right={\symbol[rightquotation]\footnote{See Tufte…}}]
\startquotation
    \input tufte
\stopquotation
\egroup

\input tufte


\stoptext
---

This approach places the opening delimiter nicely in the margin of the quotation block but sadly swallows the footnote (ordinary strings seem fine though).

How to combine the looks of 2 with the footnotes of 1?

Many thanks,
Oliver
