Hi,

I'm using beta 2014.09.27. The code below produces a slanted, unquoted quotation, whereas I intend to produce a slanted, double-quoted quotation. How can I fix it?

\definedelimitedtext[quotationsl][ style=slanted, left={\symbol[leftquotation]}, right={\symbol[rightquotation]}, location=text, ]

\setupdelimitedtext[quotationsl][style=slanted,left={\symbol[leftquotation]},right={\symbol[rightquotation]}]

\starttext \quotationsl{This should be slanted and double-quoted.} \stoptext

Best, Sander Maijers

Looks like a bug.

it's deliberate and has always been the case in mkiv

Modifying the parenthesis example at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupdelimitedtext demonstrates that when a style other than normal is specified, the left and right settings are ignored and style settings in deeper levels ignored as well. (There may be other keys that are ignored as well, and others that set this off.) I tried a number of combinations. The following is one that shows the problem. Without the style settings, it works as described in the wiki.

well, i can do a different check (in next beta) but you deal with questions about incompatible behaviour ...

\definedelimitedtext[parenthesis][location=text] \setupdelimitedtext [parenthesis:1] [left={(}, right={)}] \setupdelimitedtext [parenthesis:2] [style=slanted, left={[}, right={]}] \setupdelimitedtext [parenthesis:3] [style=normal, left={\{}, right={\}}] \starttext \parenthesis{My outer layer \parenthesis{my inner layer \parenthesis{my innermost layer}}} \stoptext

i'll add symstyle/color: \definedelimitedtext[parenthesis] [location=text] \setupdelimitedtext [parenthesis:1] [left={(}, right={)}] \setupdelimitedtext [parenthesis:2] [symcolor=red,symstyle=boldslanted,style=slanted, left={[}, right={]}] \setupdelimitedtext [parenthesis:3] [symcolor=blue,symstyle=bold,style=normal, left={\{}, right={\}}] \starttext \parenthesis{My outer layer \parenthesis{my inner layer \parenthesis{my innermost layer}}} \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I am not sure I understand the need for symstyle and symcolor. The issue is not that the symbols are not styled/colored, but that they do not appear at all when a non-normal style is specified. What I see with the example I posted is: and I assume that Sander saw a similar issue.

Note that there are no square brackets present as defined for layer 2.

I realize that style=normal for level 3 should perhaps be style=\tf, since normal is redefined to slanted within the scope of layer 2. With that change to my example, I get This still has the lack of square brackets, and now in addition lacks curly braces for level 3.

If your fix is meant to repair that, all is well. If not, could you explain why “it's deliberate and has always been the case in mkiv”?

When you use “location=text” context checks the value of the style key, when the value of the key is “normal” the left and right arguments are used but when you use a different value (e.g. slanted) context applies only the style and color values. Another way to create quotation command is to use the annotation module: \usemodule[annotation] \defineannotation [quotationsl] [style=slanted, leftsymbol={\symbol[leftquotation]}, rightsymbol={\symbol[rightquotation]}, alternative=quotation] \starttext \quotationsl{This should be slanted and double-quoted.} \stoptext Wolfgang

I am wondering likewise. Sander Maijers On Thu, Oct 16, 2014 at 3:14 AM, Rik wrote:

Thank you, Wolfgang, for that explanation of what is being done.

Can you explain why this is done? It would seem, given the name of the command, that the delimiter is more important than the styling, and so I suspect that there is some historical reason that this behavior was chosen. Styling can be done within the text, as can delimiters, but the benefit of the command is that it should be able to manage multiple levels automatically.

Sander,

The question has been mooted. The first beta (of two) on 2014-10-16 resolved the issue, and the result of your example is what the text in it describes.
