10.1 Verse, Quote, and Quoattion


— The Display

The \verse carries the following def.

               \newenvironment{verse} 
               {\let\\\@centercr 
                \list{}{\itemsep      \z@ 
                        \itemindent   -1.5em% 
                        \listparindent\itemindent 
                        \rightmargin  \leftmargin 
                        \advance\leftmargin 1.5em}% 
                \item\relax} 
               {\endlist} 

The verse environment doesn’t seem to need the 100% width but we include it because it costs nothing and without it there is a slight deviation in the left margin from the quotation environments The groups are for enclosed groups.

In LaTeX, these environment mainly enlarge the margins.

         \newenvironment{quotation} 
               {\list{}{\listparindent 1.5em% 
                        \itemindent    \listparindent 
                        \rightmargin   \leftmargin 
                        \parsep        \z@ \@plus\p@}% 
                \item\relax} 
               {\endlist} 
         \newenvironment{quote} 
               {\list{}{\rightmargin\leftmargin}% 
                \item\relax} 
               {\endlist} 

The zero margins are in particular important for avoiding extra spaces in nested verbatim environments.
