{{Todo| The above describes MkII syntax. MkIV/LMTX 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 Examples == === Alternative quotation marks ===
<context mode="mkiv" source="yes">
\definedelimitedtext[mydt]
And an answer came directed in a manner unexpected, and I
think the same was written with a thumbnail dipped in tar;
\quotation{Clancy's gone to Queensland droving, and we don't know where he are.}
\stopmydt
</context>
=== Even more alternative quotation marks === <context mode="mkiv" source="yes">\setupdelimitedtext [quotation] [ left={\offset[y=.5\strutdp]{\mirror{\externalfigure[cow][height=\dimexpr\strutht+.5\strutdp\relax]}}\nbsp},right={\nbsp\offset[y=.5\strutdp]{\externalfigure[cow][height=\dimexpr\strutht+.5\strutdp\relax]}}] \quotation{I’m a poor, lonesome cowboy...}</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" “repeated” opening quotation sign. This behavior may be turned on using the <code>repeat</code> switch and <code>middle</code> key, for example:
<texcode>
