Is this for exporting? The org manual says this:
. o O ( 12.6.4 Quoted examples ---------------------- )
( )
( When writing technical documents, you often need to insert )
( examples that are not further interpreted by Org-mode. For )
( historical reasons, there are several ways to do this: )
( )
( * If a headline starts with the word `QUOTE', the text )
( below the headline will be typeset as fixed-width, to )
( allow quoting of computer codes etc. )
( )
( * Lines starting with `:' are also typeset in fixed-width )
( font. `C-c :' Toggle fixed-width for entry (QUOTE) or )
( region, see below. )
( )
( * Finally, text between #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE quoted text )
( #+END_EXAMPLE will also be exported in this way. )
( )
That's not really satisfactory for me, because most of the time when I
want to export a blockquote, it's not a code sample, but a block quote
from an article or such. I've ended up using
@<blockquote>
quoted text
@</blockquote>
since I'm generally exporting HTML for blog usage. That's not perfectly
satisfactory, either (since I /could/ want to export to something else),
but it's good enough most of the time.
