 `@quotation'
 ============
 
   The text of a quotation is processed normally except that:
 
    * the margins are closer to the center of the page, so the whole of
      the quotation is indented;
 
    * the first lines of paragraphs are indented no more than other
      lines;
 
    * in the printed output, interparagraph spacing is reduced.
 
      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.
