Re: different line spacing for text and quotes

[mail.k]

Thanks, Paul.

I do have lots of quotes and I'd like to use a consistent style throughout.
I've come across the  setspace.sty package, and also this:

\makeatletter


\renewenvironment{quote}
              {\begin{spacing}{1}\list{}{\rightmargin\leftmargin}%
              \item\relax}
              {\endlist\end{spacing}\noindent\hspace{-0.333em}}
\makeatother

but being a newbie, I don't understand which one should be used in what 
circumstances. To clarify, I need all the text to be 1.5 spaced, except 
for the quotes (and footnotes), which should be single spaced (and with 
a smaller font).

Thanks for the help.
