Is this for exporting? The org manual says this: . o O ( 12.6.4 Quoted examples ---------------------- ) ( ) ( When writing technical documents, you often need to insert ) ( examples that are not further interpreted by Org-mode. For ) ( historical reasons, there are several ways to do this: ) ( ) ( * If a headline starts with the word `QUOTE', the text ) ( below the headline will be typeset as fixed-width, to ) ( allow quoting of computer codes etc. ) ( ) ( * Lines starting with `:' are also typeset in fixed-width ) ( font. `C-c :' Toggle fixed-width for entry (QUOTE) or ) ( region, see below. ) ( ) ( * Finally, text between #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE quoted text ) ( #+END_EXAMPLE will also be exported in this way. ) ( ) That's not really satisfactory for me, because most of the time when I want to export a blockquote, it's not a code sample, but a block quote from an article or such. I've ended up using @
quoted text @
since I'm generally exporting HTML for blog usage. That's not perfectly satisfactory, either (since I /could/ want to export to something else), but it's good enough most of the time. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Jason F.
