Submarkup:     ã|\skipbefore, \everyblockquote, \skipafterã%
 
    ã|Description:ã%
The \blockquoteformat markup  controls the formatting of block  quotes.  The
following submarkup are effective only within block quotes.
 
\skipbefore   indicates how much  space is to  be skipped  before printing a
block.  This amount is in addition to any paragraph skips.
 
\everyblockquote{Nested Markup}   determines  how the  text of the  quote is
formatted.   You can specify  justification or raggedness,  single or double
spacing, left  or right indentation, paragraph  spacing and indentation, and
any font change needed within block  quotes.  You may use any markup such as
\tenpt, \interlineskip, \leftindent or \rightindent within \everyblockquote.
 
\skipafter   indicates  how much  space is  to be  skipped after  printing a
block.  This amount is in addition to any paragraph skips.
 
    ã|Example:ã%
The indentation  has been changed  in this sample.   The text  for the block
quote is to be printed right  ragged in 9 point Computer Modern.  Paragraphs
within the block quote, and only  within, have a 1 pica paragraph indent and
zero paragraph skip.  The skips before and after the quotation have been set
to zero.
 
\blockquoteformat{\skipbefore{0pt}
     \everyblockquote{\pin{1pc}\psk{0pt}\ninepoint
              \leftindent{1pc}\rightindent{1pc}\rr}
     \skipafter{0pt}}

    ã|Example:ã%
This sample is  printed with a small  interlineskip, normal paragraph values
and zero indentation.  The  text is in 9 point italics with an interlineskip
of 9.5 points.
 
\blockquoteformat{\skipbefore{0pt}
     \everyblockquote{\ssp\ninept\it\isk{9.5pt}

    ã|Notes:ã%
The \blockquoteformat markup must  come after the \monospace markup, if both
are used.
    The defaults for \blockquoteformat  when using \monospace are different.
The space  before and  after is one  blank line  (1\bl), the left  and right
indents are 36 points  ( 1 2 inch), and the text  is in the roman font since
you cannot print \tenpt with \monospace.
