Synopsis:
\begin{quotation} text \end{quotation}
or
\begin{quote} text \end{quote}
Include a quotation. Both environments indent margins on both sides by \leftmargin
and the text is right-justified.
They differ in how they treat paragraphs. In the quotation
environment, paragraphs are indented by 1.5em and the space between paragraphs is small, 0pt plus 1pt
. In the quote
environment, paragraphs are not indented and there is vertical space between paragraphs (it is the rubber length \parsep
).
\begin{quotation} \small\it Four score and seven years ago ... shall not perish from the earth. \hspace{1em plus 1fill}---Abraham Lincoln \end{quotation}
