Text Formatting ⇒ unwanted indents in \quote, \verse environments

[alarswilson]

My preamble is below; it inserts the \paraindent20pt in the \quote and \verse environments as well. How can I still indent my text, but not in these environments?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt,english,oneside,raggedright,draft]{book}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{epigraph}
\renewcommand{\epigraphsize}{\footnotesize}
\newcommand{\superscript}[1]{\ensuremath{^\textrm{\scriptsize{#1}}}}
\usepackage{fixltx2e}
\usepackage[flushmargin,hang,multiple,ragged]{footmisc}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{sectsty}
\usepackage{footmisc}
\usepackage[includeheadfoot,top=.5in, bottom=1in, left=1.5in, right=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{setspace}
\doublespacing
\expandafter\def\expandafter\quote\expandafter{\quote\singlespacing}
\expandafter\def\expandafter\quote\expandafter{\quotation\singlespacing}
\expandafter\def\expandafter\verse\expandafter{\verse\singlespacing}

% setup for headers (fncyhdr)
\pagestyle{fancy}
\lhead{}
\chead{}
\rhead{\thepage}
\lfoot{}
\cfoot{}
\rfoot{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} 

\raggedright
\hyphenpenalty10000
\parindent20pt

\begin{document}
body
\end{document}

Just supplement your modifications for the concerned environments.

Code: Select all

\expandafter\def\expandafter\quote\expandafter{\quote\noindent\singlespacing}
\expandafter\def\expandafter\quotation\expandafter{\quotation\noindent\singlespacing}
\expandafter\def\expandafter\verse\expandafter{\verse\noindent\singlespacing}

This works as long as the environments contain only one paragraph.

You can double interline spacing by loading the setspace package with the according option.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[doublespacing]{setspace}

The switch so becomes superfluous.
