<span id="index-Indented-text-block"></span>
<span id="index-indentedblock"></span>
<p>The <code>@indentedblock</code> environment is similar to
<code>@quotation</code>, except that text is only indented on the left (and
there is no optional argument for an author). Thus, the text font
remains unchanged, and text is gathered and filled as usual, but the
left margin is increased. For example:
</p>
<blockquote class="indentedblock">
<p>This is an example of text written between an <code>@indentedblock</code>
command and an <code>@end indentedblock</code> command. The
<code>@indentedblock</code> environment can contain any text or other
commands desired.
</p></blockquote>
<p>This is written in the Texinfo source as:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@indentedblock
This is an example ...
@end indentedblock
</pre></div>
<span id="index-smallindentedblock"></span>
<p>Texinfo also provides a command <code>@smallindentedblock</code>, which is
just like <code>@indentedblock</code> but uses a smaller font size where
possible. See <a href="_0040small_2026.html"><code>@small…</code></a>.
