== Description ==

Define a new kind of delimited text (usually a quotation or blockquote) with an associated style.

== Example ==

<context source="yes">
% Narrower output, please
\setuppapersize[A5]

% We'll be wanting a 3-point distance between the quotation and the text before it
\defineblank[extractdistance][3pt]

% Define a new \startextract environment
\definedelimitedtext[extract][blockquote]

% Set up the new \startextract environment
\setupdelimitedtext
[extract]
[spacebefore=extractdistance,
leftmargin=1.5pc,
before={\setupindenting[next]}
]

\starttext
\quotation{Under Milk Wood} opens as follows:
\startextract
To begin at the beginning: It is spring, moonless night in the small town,
starless and bible-black, the cobblestreets silent and the hunched,
courters'-and-rabbits' wood limping invisible down to the sloeblack, slow,
black, crowblack, fishingboatbobbing sea.
\stopextract
\stoptext
</context>
