Would there still be difficulty if one said \quote{...\inquote{...}...} ? Ie is it the nesting of \quote that causes the problem ? If so, it would seem to me to be simpler to require use of \inquote or whatever rather than re-creating the universe. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: tim@maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
