I don’t know if that is correct, but clearly \quotation and \quote at first
view seem strange to give the same result.
According to the Règles typographiques en usage à l’imprimerie nationale, p.51 :
Nota- Guillemets ouvrants et guillemets fermants ne doivent pas être employés
les uns pour les autres. C’est ainsi que les citations de deuxième rang ne
doivent jamais être marquées en début de ligne par des guillemets fermants,
comme cela se pratique parfois fautivement. De même, on n’emploiera
qu’exceptionnellement dans un texte en français les guillemets anglais ouvrants
(“) et fermants (”).
So *only* exceptionally should \upperleftdoublesixquote and
\upperrightdoubleninequote EVER be used.
When I want them, I use {\en\quotation{…}} so as to specifically show what I am
doing!
Longer quotations are to be set off from the text, i.e. with the equivalent of
\startnarrower [left] … \stopnarrower and quotes within should use guillemots.
Maybe this is just proper usage by the user, but I have always found the
current ConTeXt definitions to be correct so that
\startquotation
… \quote{} ou
\startquote … \stopquote
…
\stopquotataion
is the proper coding, of course with \startquotation\stopquotation being
defined to typeset a narrower paragraph.
So I disagree. Of course, a user is free to redefine these setups according to
his or her own taste but should only do this \italic {en connaissance de cause}.
