Subject: weird behavior of brackets in block quotations
Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2016 15:52:44 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAFMOkGVO14WnrYpBEtgHGXkCHaeH=NwTAArS1vQTFCMY4E=7=w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1997 bytes --]
We use “[...]” in quotations to indicate departures from the written text.
In the latest beta, “[...]” is a problem in block quotations and [] does
not appear in the output.
\setupdelimitedtext
[blockquote]
[before={\blank[small,fixed]},
after={\blank[small,fixed]}]
\starttext
[t]he quotation goes as follows:
\startblockquote
[t]he science of astrology was developed in, most probably,
\stopblockquote
\input ward
\stoptext
“[...]” is OK in the body text and “[]” appears in the output.
But, in the block quotation, “[…]” gets the error message:
tex error > tex error on line 14 in file
/Users/bowen1/Desktop/TestTeX/test.tex: ! Missing number, treated as zero
tex error > tex error on line 9 in file
/Users/bowen1/Desktop/TestTeX/test.tex: ! Missing number, treated as zero
