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

The \startblockquote command has a optional argument (which is passed to
\startnarrower)
and you have to stop ConTeXt to use [t] as the argument for the command.
