5.12 Displayed material

The quote, quotation, and verse environment are all implemented by the Hyperlatex converter--but they are all identical! Alternatively, you can use the blockquote environment, so named for the HTML-tag that it creates.

The center environment is identical to the quote environment for HTML 2, but creates a centering environment in HTML 3.2.

To make lists, you can use the itemize, enumerate, and description environments. You cannot specify an optional argument to \item in itemize or enumerate, and you must specify one for description.

All these environments can be nested.

The \\ command is recognized, with and without *. You can use the optional argument to \\, but it will be ignored.

There is also a menu environment, which looks like an itemize environment, but is somewhat denser since the space between items has been reduced. It is only meant for single-line items.

Hyperlatex understands the math display environments \[, \], displaymath, equation, and equation*.
