XeTeX ⇒ Quotation with author name witouth breakpages

[max_mad666]

Hello it's me again

On the web I've find this macro in order to get quotation and autor name. And in addition the autor name will not be cut from the citation if the citation is at the end of a page.

This is the macro.

Code: Select all

\def\signed #1{{\leavevmode\unskip\nobreak\hfil\penalty50\hskip2em
  \hbox{}\nobreak\hfil(#1)%
  \parfillskip=0pt \finalhyphendemerits=0 \endgraf}}

\newsavebox\mybox
\newenvironment{aquote}[1]
  {\savebox\mybox{#1}\begin{quotation}}
  {\signed{\usebox\mybox}\end{quotation}}

And this is how to use it in a document :

Code: Select all

\begin{aquote}{Name Author to near from citation}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr,  sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore  magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam  et justo duo dolores et ea rebum. Stet clita kasd gubergren,  no sea takimata sanctus est Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.  
\end{aquote}

\begin{aquote}{Other Name Author}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr,  sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore  magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam  et justo duo dolores et ea rebum. Stet clita kasd gubergren,  no sea takimata sanctus est Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.  
\end{aquote}

What I just wish is to know how to get more space (I have no specific vertical size in cm but I just wish to get more space cuz now its really to near) between the author name and the citation itself. But again witouth cutting the author name from the citation... I've tried to change some number in the macro but it did not work...

P.-S. I m using xelatex that's why I've posted here...
Thank you

Hi,

that \signed macro is almost 1:1 from the TeXbook…

How about this: change \signed to this one

Code: Select all

\def\signed#1{{\leavevmode\unskip\nobreak\hfil\penalty50\hskip2em
  \hbox{}\nobreak\hfil\raise-3pt\hbox{(#1)}%
  \parfillskip=0pt \finalhyphendemerits=0 \endgraf}}

and leave the rest as is was.

Regards
