Hi Robert, from what I get from your message, there is only one blockquote in the introduction.
How about adding the following code before \starttext? \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \setupinterlinespace[small] % or whichever value you want \stopsectionblockenvironment I think it might work. I hope it helps, Pablo On 08/16/2016 08:00 PM, Robert Blackstone wrote: > Dear all, > > I have a small but nasty problem with the book I’m (still) working > on. > > Its 10 chapters contain many Blockquotes, and they all come out as > intended except one, in the first, unnumbered, chapter “Introduction". > That particular blockquote v]comes out like the others only as far as > its width and its fontsize are concerned, but unlike the others it > insists on keeping the same interline distance as the main text.
