Hi,
I have the following example:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\setupdelimitedtext[blockquote]
[leftmargin=1.5em,rightmargin=0em,]
\starttext
\input knuth
\startblockquote
\input knuth
\stopblockquote
\startblockquote
\righttoleft
\input knuth
\stopblockquote
\input knuth
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\righttext seems to change the locations of the margins, i.e. leftmargin
becomes rightmargin and vice-versa. That may be nice in some situations,
but I need to keep the margins where they are. Is there a way to do
this? (Maybe \righttoleft is the wrong command?) I thought I could
define a new rtlblockquote with appropriate settings, like so:
\definedelimitedtext[rtlblockquote]
\setupdelimitedtext[rtlblockquote]
[leftmargin=0em,rightmargin=1.5em,before={\righttoleft}]
But maybe there’s a better way. Any hints?
You switch directions when we're still in vertical mode, so you need:
\startblockquote
\dontleavehmode\righttoleft\ignorespaces
\input knuth
\stopblockquote
I can add this:
\permanent\protected\def\rtltext
{\groupedcommand{\dontleavehmode\righttoleft\ignorespaces}\removeunwantedspaces}
\permanent\protected\def\ltrtext
{\groupedcommand{\dontleavehmode\lefttoright\ignorespaces}\removeunwantedspaces}
but only when you wikify it
\startblockquote
\rtltext{\input{knuth}}
\stopblockquote
