Re: line correction

[Rik Kabel <context@rik.users.panix.com>]

Massi and list,

There is one issue with \startlinecorrection  of which you should be 
aware. The text is set in a vbox. If the block quotation it encloses (or 
whatever text it encloses) does not fit on the current page, a page 
break will be generated. This makes it useless with quotes near the 
bottom of a page.  Enclosed texts longer than a page run over the bottom 
margin of the new page.

It would be nice to have an alternative that does not have that limitation.
