I want to redefine the quotation
or quote
environment so that I have a different presentation style, such as big quotes or all italics, right aligned, etc.
I also want to cite the source (a real cite, or authorcite ...).
This is what I have:
\renewenvironment{quote} %[1]
{
{\rightmargin\leftmargin}
\relax
{\Large\textbf{``}}
}
{
{\Large\textbf{''}}
%\hfill\citeauthor{#1} \cite{#1}
}
My problems:
{\rightmargin\leftmargin}
to center in less than full width is not working, I copied this from the originalquote
environment. Thequotation
env. used thelist
environment to do this, but that alters the paragraph spacing too, and I do not want that. What is the right way to define the width I want and where I want to center?- The commented out parts for the citation itself are not working, I wanted to use this as
\begin{quote}{someBibRef}Some bla bla bla.\end{quote}
The argument is being passed correctly and I can print it, but I can not use it with cite commands. The output looks like##1 [##1]
and the error log saysIllegal parameter number in definition of \endquote }
- How can I make
\citeauthor
display the author's full name, not just the last? - I wanted this last part to appear in a newline, at right, I haven't found a way to do this simultaneously.
I am using biblatex
with biber as backend.
