clean up between wiki pages ==> merge of all Quotes topics
Using {{code|1=style=small}} does not work as well as <code>style={\setupbodyfont[small]}</code> or <code>style={\setupbodyfont[9pt]}</code>, because {{code|small}} shrinks only the font size but not the linespacing. Alternately, by using <code>before={\setupinterlinespace}</code>, one can then use commands such as <code>style=\tfx</code>, setting the size relatively rather than absolutely, advantageous for nestling and for inclusion in footnotes, for example.
== Pull quotes ==
Pull quotes can be implemented by floating a framed text. For example, the following definitions set up pull quotes with no border:
<texcode>
\definefloat[pullquote][pullquotes] % Define a new type of float
\setupcaption[pullquote][location=none] % Set it to have no captions
\defineframedtext[pullquote][frame=off] % Define a new type of framed text with no visible frame
</texcode>
You can then drop a pull quote in your main text like this:
<texcode>
\placepullquote[right]{}{
\startpullquote[width=4cm]
\tfc “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”
\stoppullquote}
</texcode>
== Quotes symbols ==
=== Single quote ===
For short quotes you can switch the language (and depending setups like quotation marks) with the [[Language Codes|language code]] like <tt>{</tt>{{cmd|de}} <tt>das ist Deutsch}</tt>.
If you switch between longer sections or if the two-letter language code has some other meaning (like {{cmd|sl}} stands for <i>slanted</i> and can't be used to start Slovenian) you should use {{cmd|language}}<tt>[sl]</tt>.
=== Quotesingle ===
‘quotesingle’ (Unicode character 0x0027) is the unsexed single quotation mark (or quote, or apostrophe) character '. Putting this character in a ConTeXt (or other TeX) source file will usually result in the the ’ (quoteright) character in the output. Usually, this is what you want: it lets you use the more easily typed ' as an apostrophe in the source file, and have it typeset as the more aesthetically pleasing ’.
However, this causes problems if you actually want the ' character itself in the output. In MkIV, for OpenType fonts, the substitution is controlled by a non-standard OTF feature called trep (short for ‘TeX replacements’). So we can get the ' character throughout the document by ensuring that this feature is switched off in the defaults:
<texcode>
\definefontfeature[default][liga=yes,kern=yes,tlig=yes,trep=no,mode=node]
\starttext
A straight quotation mark: '
\stoptext
</texcode>
But perhaps you want TeX replacement on by default so you can keep getting pretty apostrophes, and you just need the quotesingle character occasionally. In this case you can define a special feature set and activate it only when necessary.
<texcode>
\definefontfeature[default][liga=yes,kern=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes,mode=node]
\definefontfeature[notrep][trep=no]
\def\realquotesingle{{\addfs{notrep}'}}
\starttext
A straight quotation mark: \realquotesingle .
A normal quotation mark: '.
\stoptext
</texcode>
Note that ‘mode=node’ is necessary for this to work. Also, as stated, this technique applies only to OTF fonts under MkIV.
