Subject: Quotation with footnote
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2020 13:25:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <D0C34F7D-CDC3-4FCB-8B07-5B8560DA0E95@fiee.net> (raw)
My current book contains a lot of quotations with their sources marked as footnotes, e.g.
\definedelimitedtext[Zitat][
%setups=Zitat, % doesn’t work!?
left=»,
right=«,
leftmargin=2em,
rightmargin=1.5em,
]
\startZitat
A rose is a rose is a rose.\footnote{Marx brothers}
\stopZitat
Now, since the quotations are whole sentences or paragraphs, the footnote marker needs to be placed _after_ the closing quotation mark. (German typography, I learned it’s different at least in US English.)
I tried several approaches e.g. with my own single start/stop macros that call \start/stopnarrower or \start/stopZitat – that always lead to unclosed environments.
* Only the delimitedtext approach gives a hanging opening quotation mark (which looks nice and I’d like to have).
* \stopnarrower within a macro doesn’t seem to work (all following text stays narrower).
* I can’t get rid of that space introduced by the CR before \stop – didn’t find a place where \gobblespacetokens works, maybe that’s the wrong command.
Most preferred would be a solution that checked if there’s a footnote in front of \stopZitat and would put the closing quotation mark in front instead of after. Without a footnote it would just place the mark.
Something like \stopZitat\footnote{...} would also be nice, but I guess that’s too far outside of TeX’s logic.
In the worst case I’d need to typeset the closing mark manually.
Some hints please?
Hraban
