I got a problem (probably simple), but I dont really see how to explain it with a MWE.

So I'm trying to modify my quote environment. I entered the following line in my preamble : 

\renewenvironment{quote}{\begin{singlespace} {\rightmargin\leftmargin}}{\end{singlespace}}

In a MWE, its working (I can give it, but this should not be necessary, I only need the setspace package).

However, in my main document, something just cancel this effect. I think that's probably another package i'm using. So here's the list of packages : can anyone tell me if one of them if known for interferating with quote ?

Thank you, Thomas :

bredele.sty isn't available at CTAN. If I omit this package (and correctly load babel), everything works fine for me using your preamble. Have you tried to redefine quote immediately before \begin{document}? – lockstep Feb 20 at 12:53
Actually that's how it was in the first place, but I then changed it to be in the preamble. I'm also including the chapters in my main file. Do you think a redefinition at the beginning of each chapter would work ? – Thoms Morel Feb 20 at 12:55
Immediately before \begin{document} is part of the preamble. Please provide an example that shows the problem. – lockstep Feb 20 at 12:56
Sorry I misread ! Yeah, it was right before the \begin{document} ! – Thoms Morel Feb 20 at 13:00

Ok the problem was probably with the fact I was using a main file, and then included my chapters in this main file. When I put the 

\renewenvironment{quote}{\begin{singlespace} {\rightmargin\leftmargin}}\end{singlespace}}

at the beginning of a chapter, that's working !

Thanks @lockstep anyway !

Good to hear that it's working for you -- I don't have a clue why \include would change an evironment's definition, though. – lockstep Feb 20 at 13:03

Ok, to be very honest, I have to confess I found the real reason : I hade not seen that, in the first .tex that I had include, there was another definition of quote. So everything I was doing before that was nonsense, since it was erased by the new definition. My mistake, and sorry for wasting your time – Thoms Morel Feb 20 at 13:11
