When the microtype
package is loaded a quote
environment which starts with punctuation marks is inconsistent "indented". The first line in the following minimal example is unaffected, i.e. at the same place as without the package, but the next two lines are pushed to the left. I realize that it is a feature of the microtype
package to push punctuation marks into the margin, but here it looks quite ugly because it isn't consistent. The first line is most likely different because of the included \item
in \begin{quote}
.
Is there a way to get the indention consistent? Can I temporarly disable this feature of microtype
just for this environment? I'm having such code in some package manuals where some verbatim code lines which start with "punctuation" like {
inside a quote
environment.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{microtype}
\begin{document}

\begin{quote}

\end{quote}

\end{document}
\microtypesetup{protrusion=false}
works for me. – Andrey Vihrov Mar 16 '11 at 19:14microtype
very well and didn't even know that this feature is calledprotrusion
. It's not that obvious for an non-native speaker. – Martin Scharrer♦ Mar 16 '11 at 20:18\item
in thequote
is the clue. The protrusion doesn't work there. – Martin Scharrer♦ Mar 16 '11 at 21:07
