And an answer came directed in a manner unexpected, and I think the same was written with a thumbnail dipped in tar; 't was his shearing-mate who wrote it, and verbatim I will quote it: \quotation{Clancy's gone to Queensland droving, and we don't know where he are.}

{{Todo| The above describes MkII syntax. MkIV syntax is different. See the parenthesis example below}}
== Description ==
* Nearly all of the parameters apply only if the new kind of text is invoked with <code>\startmydelimitedtext</code>: if one uses <code>\mydelimitedtext{...}</code>, only <code>left</code> and <code>right</code> have any effect.
* '''MkII only''': <code>leftmargin</code> contains the distance to the actual left margin, not to the edge of the body text. If the new delimitedtext inherits from <code>quotation</code>, the text will be indented a bit with respect to the body text; if you want to line them up, set the <code>leftmargin</code> to <code>\leftmargindistance</code> rather than to <code>0pt</code>.
== Example ==
<texcodecontext mode="mkiv" source="yes">\setuppapersize[A5]
\definedelimitedtext[mydt]
\setupdelimitedtext[mydt][left=»\leftguillemot, right=«\rightguillemot]
\quotation{Clancy of the Overflow}, by Banjo Paterson
\startmydt
\stopmydt
</context>
=== Smart parenthesis ===
<context mode="mkiv" source="yes">
\definedelimitedtext[parenthesis][location=text]
\setupdelimitedtext [parenthesis:1] [left={(}, right={)}]
\setupdelimitedtext [parenthesis:2] [left={[}, right={]}]
\setupdelimitedtext [parenthesis:3] [left={\{}, right={\}}]
\starttext
\parenthesis{My outer layer \parenthesis{my inner layer \parenthesis{my innermost layer}}}
\stoptext
</context>
== Multiparagraph quotations ==
In English typography there is a custom of opening each paragraph in a multiparagraph quotation with a “repeated” opening quotation sign. This behavior may be turned on using the <code>repeat</code> switch and <code>middle</code> key, for example:
<texcode>
\setupquotation[repeat=yes, middle=“] % or equivalently
\setupdelimitedtext[quotation][repeat=yes, middle=“]
</texcode>
