I want to change the background color of some pargraphs (of type 'Quote' but
this should be of no interest IMHO) into light gray. My preamble does
include this:
\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{lightgray}[rgb}0.75,0.75,0.75}
If I do include (in red) \color{lightgray} at the beginning of my Quote
paragraph the text in the complete environment will become lightgray. But I
do want to change the background color, instead! I don't have found any
variable in color.sty like \background or similar to change the background
color in a similar way.
Using a colorbox, i.e. (completely in tred, too)
\colorbox{lightgray}{here is may text which goes over many lines}
will set the background color, BUT the complete text goes into one line
(which of course can't be read off the page).
So is there any latex trick to fix that problem?
Thanks in advance
Claus
