LyX ⇒ No indentation after quote

[johnny7]

Hello,

I want to redefine the short quote environment so that there appears no indentation in the standard text after the quote. (I also don't want the first quoted paragraph to be indented, as in the long quote environment.)
In my preamble I have already the following, to get single spaced quotes and to have proper gaps (I got this from a thread somewhere):
\let\oldquote\quote
\let\oldendquote\endquote
\renewenvironment{quote}
{\vspace{\dimexpr-12pt-\topsep+\baselineskip\relax}\begin{spacing}{1.2}\oldquote}
{\oldendquote\end{spacing}\vspace{\dimexpr-12pt-\topsep+\baselineskip\relax}}

Can someone adjust the code in order to remove the indentation after the quote? Thank you!

Just don't make a paragraph break after the quote. Continue normal text. The paragraph break (or empty line) causes the indentation as with any new paragraph.

Alternatively, you could use the quoting package that provides configuration options, but perhaps it's not directly supported by LyX.

Unfortunately, that's not possible with LyX, it always adds a blank line after quoting.

If this is really the case, you should report this bug. However you still can use ERT to add \begin{quote} and \end{quote} inside a paragraph (without an empty line before and after).
