Modifying org-quote blocks

Modifying org-quote blocks

[Divya Ranjan]

I have been trying to modify my org-blocks that pertain to quotes. I have tried setting the variable `org-fontify-quote-and-blocks` to `t` but that doesn't really do anything. I still get `fixed-pitch` font in quote blocks. I would want to be able to modify the background and font nature of quote blocks, for e.g., changing the `fixed-pitch` font to `variable-pitch` font and maybe change the background color a bit.

I also intend to set the text inside any quote block to be automatically indented and italicized, so that it looks promimnent from the rest of the text.

I have tried to look through the mailing list to find something, but what I got [0] wasn't really of much help, would be glad if someone can give me a hint or two.

There is no such variable in Org mode.
Maybe you meant `org-fontify-quote-and-verse-blocks'?

On my side, using the latest stable Org mode version, after setting
`org-fontify-quote-and-verse-blocks' to t (it must be set before loading
an Org file), text inside quote blocks is correctly fontified using
org-quote face on my side.

You can check faces using M-x describe-text-properties with point inside
quote block.
