We use “[...]” in quotations to indicate departures from the written text.

In the latest beta, “[...]” is a problem in block quotations and [] does
not appear in the output.

\setupdelimitedtext
        [blockquote]
        [before={\blank[small,fixed]},
  after={\blank[small,fixed]}]

\starttext
[t]he quotation goes as follows:
\startblockquote
[t]he science of astrology was developed in, most probably,
\stopblockquote
\input ward
\stoptext

“[...]” is OK in the body text and “[]” appears in the output.

But, in the block quotation, “[…]” gets the error message:


tex error       > tex error on line 14 in file
/Users/bowen1/Desktop/TestTeX/test.tex: ! Missing number, treated as zero


tex error       > tex error on line 9 in file
