The LaTeX export backend accepts two attributes for quote blocks:
‘:environment’, for an arbitrary quoting environment (the default
value is that of org-latex-default-quote-environment
: "quote"
) and
‘:options’. For example, to choose the environment ‘quotation’,
included as an alternative to ‘quote’ in standard LaTeX classes:
#+ATTR_LATEX: :environment quotation #+BEGIN_QUOTE some text... #+END_QUOTE
To choose the ‘foreigndisplayquote’ environment, included in the LaTeX package ‘csquotes’, with the ‘german’ option, use this syntax:
#+LATEX_HEADER:\usepackage[autostyle=true]{csquotes} #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment foreigndisplayquote :options {german} #+BEGIN_QUOTE some text in German... #+END_QUOTE
which is exported to LaTeX as
\begin{foreigndisplayquote}{german} some text in German... \end{foreigndisplayquote}
