Quotation - Marks and remove indent

Post by r4ge »

I am using the

Code: Select all

\begin{quotation}
for my quotes (as some are a few lines big).

However I would like to have quotation marks(prefer double), however I cannot find out how to do this without manually putting the quotes on each quote throughout my document.

I figure there should be something like adding the quotes to the command or rewritting the command?

I also have an indent on the first line of each quotation, and would like to remove this.
I have tried

Code: Select all

\setlength{\quotation}{0pt}
as well as setlength \paralenth.

any ideas ?

alright, I am using texMaker (with mikTek)
I went onto mikTek and installed csquotes.
and found the manual on their site.

however I am encountering issues in getting the package to work.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
I have tried a few varients of this, encluding [english], [english=british], [autostyle].

but keep getting the error
latex:cannot start MiKTeX package manager. latex:data invalid syntax
this disappears when i remove the \usepackage{csquotes}.
