LaTeX Environments for Poetry and Quotes

The document describes several LaTeX environments including: 1) The verse environment is for poetry and separates lines with a newline command and stanzas with a blank line like paragraphs. Lines wrap outdented. 2) The quote environment does not indent paragraphs but separates them with space. 3) The quotation environment indents paragraphs. 4) The verbatim environment displays literal LaTeX source code and has improvements in the memoir class. It is recommended to choose one quotation environment rather than mixing them.

Some other basic environments


The verse environment
For writing verse or poetry. Separate lines with the newline command (\\)
and stanzas with a blank line, the same as for separating paragraphs in
text.

The verse environment is for poetry. Lines which wrap are


outdented.

Because it’s for poetry!

document.

The verbatim environment


This environment is for displaying literal TEX code source. It has some
improvements in the memoir class, based on the verbatim package.
