- Michal Jaegermann suggested the following way to get rid of the
- \box255 error message. It seems to incorporate nicely Victor's suggestion.
- As for the problem with hanging indentation I am going to try
- using another method for indenting quotations for now since the
- indent at the beginning of paragraphs is preserved. Again,
- once I get the results I want I would be delighted if someone more
- knowledgeable such as Michal or Victor would oversee the process
- of turning this output routine into something more generally useful.
