+To compare the two: in the @code{quotation} environment, paragraphs are

+not indented and there is vertical space between paragraphs (it is the

+may be more suitable for documents where new paragraphs are marked by an
+indent rather than by a vertical separation. In addition, @code{quote}
+may be more suitable for a short quotation or a sequence of short
+quotations.
