Re: Using italics within a quote citation

Hi,

When I try quotes the attribution text is already in italics?

It looks like this alternate quotes syntax allows you to get quotes substitution in the attribution:

"I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing,
and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical."
-- Thomas Jefferson, Papers of Thomas Jefferson: *Volume 11*

35.1.1. Quoted paragraph

I think it only works for a single paragraph though.

Hope this is relevant :-)

Greetings,

I've looked for this, but haven't found a good answer yet. I'm trying to do the following

[quote, Some author in _their book_]
____
The quote
____

However, the rendered out put is:

Some author in _their book_

not

Some author in their book

Is it possible to do this?
