org-mode quote block environment

Question

Is there a way in org-mode to setup

#+begin_quote
my quote here
#+end_quote

to be expanded in latex export as

\begin{quoting}
...
\end{quoting}

I want to use quoting latex package to style quote blocks.

Answer 1

The simplest way to do this is to use a special block. In your case:

#+begin_quoting
my quote here
#+end_quoting

Will be exported as

\begin{quoting}
my quote here
\end{quoting}

You can also modify the attributes of an example block to accomplish the same thing:

#+ATTR_LATEX: :environment quoting
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
My quote here
#+END_EXAMPLE
