Assuming the quote is within a paragraph and is preceded and succeeded= by=20 text belonging to that same paragraph, the skips preceding and succeeding= =20 text should be the same as in the default itemize environment. Assuming=20 itemize uses \medskip (how do I find out for sure (aside from digging int= o=20 the code)?), I need the quote environment to do something like; ------------------------------------ Here is some preceding text \medskip=20 % \startnarrower[2*left,2*right]\noindent Some quoted text \stopnarrower \medskip % Here is some succeeding text. ---------------------------------------- 2. Assuming the quote is within a paragraph and is preceded and succeeded= by=20 text belonging to that same paragraph, the succeeding text should NOT be=20 indented. viz. ---------------------------------------- Here is some preceding text % \startquote Some quoted text=20 \stopquote % Here is some succeeding text that should NOT be indented ----------------------------------------- 3. Assuming the quote is at the _end_ of a paragraph, I need the quote=20 environment to do something like; -------------------------------------- Here is some preceding text \medskip=20 % \startnarrower[2*left,2*right]\noindent Some quoted text \stopnarrower \medskip Here is some succeeding text that SHOULD be indented. -------------------------------------- Note also that the first par in a quote environment should not be indente= d: -------------------------------------- Here is some preceding text % \startquote Some quoted text that should NOT be indented Some quoted text that SHOULD be indented. \stopquote % -------------------------------------- Your help is greatly appreciated!
