Text Formatting ⇒ Doubles-pacing, but not in \quote or \verse environment

[alarswilson]

My thesis guidelines call for block-quotes to be single space, but the rest of the text double-spaced. I have been simply using \doublespacing, but this double-spaces the \quote and \verse environments as well. How do I accomplish this simply?

[localghost]

Just use the \singlespacing command from the setspace package inside these environments.


Best regards

Is there any way of doing this from the front end, without editing all of my \quote and \verse environments by hand?

[Juanjo]

Add these lines to the preamble:

Code: Select all

\expandafter\def\expandafter\quote\expandafter{\quote\singlespacing}
\expandafter\def\expandafter\verse\expandafter{\verse\singlespacing}

Thanks. It worked great.
