Subject: \startquotation and citations
Date: Mon, 23 May 2011 15:39:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <F7E78293-A1C9-4E73-BC30-3231E338682E@mpq.mpg.de> (raw)
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
