horizontal alignmentquoting
I need to left justify text in quote environment. The rest of the text is justified to both margins.
I just need to raggedright the text inside the quote environment.
I'm using this
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\patchcmd{\quote}{\rightmargin}{\leftmargin 0.5in \rightmargin 0}{}{}
to change the margins.
Thanks in advance
To allow for a variable-width minipage environment, you need the varwidth package. From the package documentation:
The package deļ¬nes a
varwidthenvironment (based onminipage) which is an analogue ofminipage, but whose resulting width is the natural width of its contents.
The minimal example as presented in the package documentation gives a view on what means:
So, alter Stefan's answer in the following way:
\usepackage{varwidth}% http://ctan.org/pkg/varwidth
\newenvironment{texto}{%
\begin{center} % so the minipage is centered
\begin{varwidth}[t]{\textwidth}
\raggedright % so the minipage's text is left justified
}{%
\end{varwidth}
\end{center}
}
Use the ragged2e package and its \justifying macro.
EDIT: I should have guessed that memoir provides its own macro for the task: \flushleftright.
\documentclass{memoir}
% Variant A
% \usepackage{ragged2e}
% \setfloatadjustment{marginfigure}{\justifying}
% Variant B
\setfloatadjustment{marginfigure}{\flushleftright}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{marginfigure}
\lipsum[1]
\end{marginfigure}
\end{document}

The patch you need is the following:
so that each time a
quoteenvironment starts, the text is typeset ragged right.MWE:
