==Basic commands==
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 [[Languages#Language_tags|language tag]] 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]\starttextA 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{Getting started navbox{\addfs{notrep}'}}\starttextA 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.See also [http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/thread.html#57834 this mailing list discussion]. clean up between wiki pages ==> merge with Quotes, in symbol part [[Category:Basics]]
