changed indentation for quotations
Hi, is there a way to change indentation for quotes and quotations in the preamble of a document? I'd need left indentation 0.7cm, right indentation 0cm. All I found was changes inside the document, such as: \par \begingroup \leftskip=2cm % ggf. verstellen \noindent Langer Text \par \endgroup Weiterer Text Not a very encouraging option when you need to change about 1,000 quotations. Thanks for your advice. Markus

Exactly what to do depends upon your document class, but the short
version is that you can just \renewenvironment the quote environment by
copying it out of the class and changing it as you see fit. It's just a
list environment. E.g., here are the ones from book.cls:
\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}
You could try putting \setlength\leftmargin{2cm} in there, and adjust
as need be, e.g.:
\renewenvironment{quote}
{\list{}{\setlength\leftmargin{2cm}\rightmargin\leftmargin}%
\item\relax}
{\endlist}
Something like that should work.

Re: changed indentation for quotations [solved]
Richard, thanks a lot! It worked very well. You're my favourite hecker! ;-)
I adapted it to:
\renewenvironment{quote}
{\list{}{\setlength\leftmargin{0.7cm}}%
\item\relax}
{\endlist}
\renewenvironment{quotation}
{\list{}{\setlength\leftmargin{0.7cm}}%
\item\relax}
{\endlist}
Cheers and best wishes!
