Turabian style: quote environment

Post by alarswilson »

Thanks. This (with the included modifications) fixed everything except for one thing.

Before quote and quotation environments, I need a fixed, double space. The code you gave me correctly changes the space after these environments to a baseline skip. But before these environments, there is too much space.

I don't know how exactly to make these identical. Thanks for your help.

Code: Select all

% quote and quotation indents and margins
\makeatletter
\renewenvironment{quotation}{%
  \list{}{%
    \listparindent 0.5in
    \itemindent 0pt
    \leftmargin 0.5in
    \rightmargin \leftmargin
    \parsep 0pt
    \topsep 0pt
    }%
    \item\relax
    \singlespacing
}
{\endlist}
\renewenvironment{quote}{%
      \list{}{%
        \listparindent 0.5in%
        \itemindent 0pt
        \leftmargin 0.5in
        \rightmargin \leftmargin
        \topsep 0pt
      }%
      \item\relax
      \singlespacing
    }
    {\endlist}
    \makeatother
