Hi,
This is probably a noobish question, but how do I override the default "Quote" paragraph environment in LyX, and make all text of the "Quote" type smaller than the default Quote size?
I know that I can select each quote manually and change the font size, but that would be tedious and go against the whole idea of LaTeX/LyX.
Thank you.

Making "Quote" style smaller
A way to do that could be as follows: In Document > Settings > LaTeX Preamble, copy the lines
and save. Instead of \small, you could use \footnotesize, \scriptsize or \tiny to get even smaller sizes.
Code: Select all
\let\quoteOLD\quote
\def\quote{\quoteOLD\small}

Hi,
Juanjo's code above will work, just a comment, it could be done without to define an additional macro \quoteOLD:
