> Is a note in the intro stating: "Quoted material is formatted with a > light brown font color" adequate? When I looked at the page, I assumed it to be material written by you. If it is indeed a quote, you need to acknowledge the copyright owner, either by a credit line underneath in teeny tiny type or by an acknowledgements page that gives the details of each copyright holder and then a list of page numbers on which their material appears. If you don't acknowledge the owner, then, ahem officer, we appear to be at a crime scene and the perp is a plagiarist. But if you revise or reword it substantially, then you have a paraphrased sidebar, the copyright is yours, and the owner of the original phrase does not have to be acknowledged. As a way of indicating a sidebar, I like the brown colour! I'd do something about those deep indents, though, especially if you have some one- or two-line paras.
