I'm afraid this doesn't give the desired result. While this fixes the
inverted margins issue, this keeps the whole paragraph in LTR-mode.
The expected result (created with rtlblockquote) would be this:
So, the question remains: is a dedicated startstop-pair to achieve this
(what’s the proper name of those anyway? In latex these are
environments, but that feels odd in context)? Or are there easier solutions?
i'll add support for the align parameter
\usealignparameter\delimitedtextparameter
but you need to adapth left/right margins to your taste as in the bidi
concept (being part of a line) left and rightskip swap
\definedelimitedtext
[mine]
[align={flushleft,r2l},leftmargin=3cm,rightmargin=0cm]
\starttext
\input tufte
\startmine
\input tufte
\stopmine
\input tufte
\stoptext
