Testing, \quotation{A long quotation in which one character says,
Stuff.
Quotation marks and formatting are language dependent.
; single quotes : <{{cmd>|quote</cmd><tt>|{some text}</tt>}}; double quotes : <{{cmd>|quotation</cmd><tt>|{some text}</tt>}}; long quote sections : try <{{cmd>|startquote</cmd> }} or <{{cmd>|startquotation</cmd> }} etc.

The following may serve as a guide to others in formatting long quotations or extracts:
===Long quotations defined with <{{cmd>|definestartstop</cmd>}}===
In body text:
</texcode>
===Long quotations defined with <{{cmd>|definedelimitedtext</cmd>}} ===
In body text:
</texcode>
==Example using <{{cmd>|setupdelimitedtext</cmd>}}==
Here is how to get indented quotations set in small type:
</texcode>
The <{{cmd>|par</cmd> }} inside the block quotation keeps TeX's paragraph builder happy. Otherwise the last paragraph in the block quotation gets the wider linespacing of the outside environment rather than the narrower linespacing appropriate to nine-point text.
Using <{{code>|1=style=small</code> }} does not work as well as <code>style={\setupbodyfont[9pt]}</code> or <code>style={\setupbodyfont[10pt]}</code>, because <{{code>|small</code> }} shrinks only the font size but not the linespacing.
