@quotation

The text of a quotation is processed normally except that:

This is an example of text written between an @quotation command and an @end quotation command. An @quotation command is most often used to indicate text that is excerpted from another (real or hypothetical) printed work.

Write an @quotation command as text on a line by itself. This line will disappear from the output. Mark the end of the quotation with a line beginning with and containing only @end quotation. The @end quotation line will likewise disappear from the output. Thus, the following,

     @quotation
     This is
     a foo.
     @end quotation
     

produces

This is a foo.
