Command/ delimitedtext

\delimitedtext

Summary

The instances of \delimitedtext add markup around a (usually short) block of text.

Instances

\quotation	puts double quotation marks around the text inside the braces. The type of the quotation marks depends on the language setting
\quote	Quote text using the 'single quote' style of the current language.
\blockquote
\speech
\aside

Settings instance

\DELIMITEDTEXT[...]{...}
[...]	language
{...}	content

Description

These instances are defined by \definedelimitedtext and set up with \setupdelimitedtext. But \definedelimitedtext also creates a command \setupDELIMITEDTEXT for each of them, so you can set up the \quote command with \setupquote.

Examples

Example 1

\language[en]
\quotation{Hello world!}

\language[de]
\quotation{Hello world!}

Example 2

Getting quotation marks right can be quite \quote{hard}.
