I'm trying to force csquotes
to always set a \blockquote
in display mode but still enclose the quote in quotation marks, German ones in particular.
How can I achieve that?
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{lmodern,blindtext}
\usepackage[babel=true,strict=true,german=quotes,threshold=1]{csquotes}
\begin{document}
\blindtext
\blockquote{\blindtext}
\blindtext
\end{document}
This example produces a quote as an indented paragraph, but without quotation marks.

The
csquotes
manual suggests to redefine\mkblockquote
, see section 8.7 Hooks for Quotations and Citations. One possibility would bewhich gives the same effect as in this answer.
The four arguments of
\mkblockquote
refer towhich are explained in the manual as follows
In the example below I use
where
\llap{,,}
places the opening quotation mark left of the text in the quote margin. (The space at the end before the closing quotation mark is an artefact of\blindtext
and not related to\mkblockquote
.)
