Feature request: width settings for scripture blocks. #46

Occasionally one will include a 'hunk' of scripture within a text. As of right now, my rendering puts 'normal' paragraphs and scripture 'hunks' at the same width, making it a bit tricky to distinguish where one ends and the other begins (aside from the scripture ref at the end)

I think I generally envisage this being done using a quote or quotationenvironment.

However there is also a leftmargin and rightmargin option that can be used. aboveskip and belowskip control vertical spacing before and after.

Are these two methods sufficient?

ahhhh gotcha. I didn't even think of shoving it into those envs, that works quite well. for future people:

\begin{displayquote}
    \begin{scripture}[Genesis 1:1]
        In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth
    \end{scripture}
\end{displayquote}
