Re: simpleslides help needed

[Pavneet Arora <pavneet_arora@waroc.com>]

Ah, I got it now!

\quotation is quite different from \{start|stop}quotation.  I was attempting to 
affect the changes using just \quotation{}, which has no (or in my case 
asymmetrical and strange) effects on the margins, at least within simpleslides.

Now, I don't know whether there should be a difference in behaviour, but there 
definitely is.  When I simply integrated your \setupdelimitedtext and 
\{start|stop}narrower into my existing slide presentation, there was no change. 
  As I kept reducing the presentation there still was no change in behaviour 
until the only thing staring up at me was \quotation{}.

Glad I chased this down even though it might have been painful for others to 
read of my bumbling about.  It gives me another core piece for doing my 
presentations.

Cheers.

The first method uses the quotation environment where you can control the margin with the leftmargin and “rightmargin keys, the second method uses the quotation command which is put in a narrower environment to create the margins/offset.
