[Tex/LaTex] Indentation for quotes in LaTeX

indentationquoting

Sometimes when we use a long quote, we want the paragraph for the quote to indent from both the left side and the right side. What is the "correct" way to do this?

Best Answer

Standard LaTeX provides the quote (no inner indentation, intended for short quotations) and quotation (inner indentation, intended for longer quotations) environments:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[4]
\begin{quote}
\lipsum[4]
\end{quote}
\lipsum[4]
\begin{quotation}
\lipsum[2]\lipsum[4]
\end{quotation}

\end{document}
