You can tell it to turn it into something else instead of the default
".ds".
For example
.R1
annotate X (q
.R2
will instruct refer to replace every "X" field with ".(q", which is the
beginning of quoted paragraph in -me macros.
One can add a closing ".)q" at the end of annotation in the reference.
However, I prefer to add the closing ".)q" using a postrefer.sed script
from a Makefile.
Thus my annotations look like this after refer.
.(q
annotation
.)q
and produce a quotation paragraph in slightly smaller font indented
inside from the left and right side.

I believe it would be better if it just turns it into
.LP
First paragraph.
.LP
Second paragraph.

I hope the above hint helps.
