Hi,

I just saw something handy in a LaTeX document: nested quotes!

The source looked liked this...
\enquote{Needless to say \enquote{mind mapping} is just ...}

And the result looked like this ...
“Needless to say ‘mind mapping’ is just ...”


Do we have something like this in ConTeXt too?

Steffen

I think  the idea behind Steffens  post was not to  find a
command that  does the quoting, rather  than finding *one*
command  that  »knows« about  the level of  quotation  and
inserts the corresponding quotation marks.

My fault, I overlooked that  part. But indeed, a very nice
definition. I wasn't aware of that.

But be careful: it easily can get confused when becoming *really* nested ...

\starttext

\setupdelimitedtext
  [quotation]
  [1]
  [left={\symbol[leftquotation]},
   right={\symbol[rightquotation]}]

\setupdelimitedtext
  [quotation]
  [2]
  [left={\symbol[leftquote]},
   right={\symbol[rightquote]}]

\setupdelimitedtext
  [quotation]
  [3]
  [left={\symbol[leftquotation]},
   right={\symbol[rightquotation]}]

Testing, \quotation{A really nested\footnote{Test \quotation{A long quotation in which one character says,
\quotation{Eh? What am I supposed to say? Something like, \quotation
{Quotations in this sentance are nested}?}} test}  quotation}!

\stoptext
