Hello,
Is it possible to produce in PDF the following passage with matching new-lines?
#+NAME: page-56-57
#+BEGIN_SRC latex :export:
\begin{quotation}
war. The longer a war lasts, the more things tend to depend on acci-
dents. Neither you nor we can see into them: we have to abide their
outcome in the dark. And when people are entering upon a war they
do things the wrong way round. Action comes first, and it is only
when they have already suffered that they begin to think. We, how-
ever, are still far removed from such a mistaken attitude; so, to the
best of our belief, are you. And so we urge you, now, while we are
both still free to make sensible decisions, do not break the peace,
do not go back upon your oaths; instead let us settle our differences
by arbitration, as is laid down in the treaty. If you will not do so, we
shall have as our witnesses the gods who heard our oaths. You will
have begun the war, and we shall attempt to meet you in any and
every field of action that you may choose.
\end{quotation}

You can force a newline in LaTeX putting '\\' at the end of the line(as the
last chars on the line).
You can try this:

Thank you,

Yes. The file sample2e.tex demonstrates the use of '\\' in the 'verse' environment.
I now have the following wanting to fully justify the lines but it doesn’t.
#+BEGIN_SRC latex :noexport:
\parbox{\linewidth}{\small

Well, you must choose what do you want. If you let LaTeX fully justify your
text, you don't control line endings, otherwise you can put \\ to say 'Hey
I want a line ending here'.
If you want a shorter quoting you could use a different size to \parbox.
As an example you can use * \parbox{0.7\linewidth}*
to limit the parbox to 70% of your linewidth.
Cheers,
LEslie

Hello Leslie,
> Well, you must choose what do you want.
I have it :-) No amount of searching through the Internet forums was going to find this. But, you can piece it together from Leslie Lamport’s LaTeX book which I finally did.
The \linebreak leaves the full justification default unchanged.
