Well, if you look at my PDF again, you will see a difference between my
example and yours. In your case the result is correct but not in my case. I
have looked at it again and I get the correct result if I use your syntax:
\setRTL
\begin{verse}
...
\end{verse}
But not, if I use:
\begin{verse}
...
\setRTL ...
\end{verse}
With the quote environment, however, I already get the correct result with the
second type of syntax. If I am not mistaken, having one set of \begin{verse}
... \end{verse} helps me reduce some vertical space. This is also important
while working with the source because I like to keep one set of quotations
inside one pair of commands.
I think this is a bug. Could you please look at it again?
Thanks,
Arash
