Basic commands
Don't try to type quotation marks, but use logical markup! Quotation marks and formatting are language dependent.
- single quotes
- \quote{some text}
- double quotes
- \quotation{some text}
- long quote sections
- try \startquote or \startquotation etc.
Nested quotations
The following commands can be used to automatically nest double and single quotes.
\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 long quotation in which one character says, \quotation{Eh? What am I supposed to say? Something like, \quotation {Quotations in this sentence are nested}?}} testing, 1, 2, 3.
Long quotations and extracts
The following may serve as a guide to others in formatting long quotations or extracts:
In body text:
\defineblank[extractdistance][3pt] \definedelimitedtext[extract][blockquote] \setupdelimitedtext [extract] [spacebefore=extractdistance, leftmargin=1.5pc, before={\setupindenting[next]}]
In footnotes:
\defineblank[footenoteextractdistance][2.7pt] \definedelimitedtext[fnextract][blockquote] \setupdelimitedtext [fnextract] [spacebefore=footenoteextractdistance, leftmargin=1.5pc, before={\setupindenting[next]}]
