Hi List, 

I usually use my gut feeling to decide if I use an EXAMPLE or a QUOTE or
a VERSE block. I would prefer to have a kind of mental decision like

,---------------
| if A 
|   then EXAMPLE
|   else if B
|     then QUOTE
|     else VERSE
`---------------

or so. So what would be a complete list of these "verbatim" environments
in Org-mode, and how could their chacteristics be described in a few
words? Can I find that in the manual or somewhere else?

In section 15.2. Easy Templates I find

| block   | use for? |
---------------------
|EXAMPLE  |          |
|QUOTE    |          |
|VERSE    |          |
|CENTER   |          |

Is this a complete list? What are the criteria to choose one or the
other?

Thanks for tips or a related link.
