[PLUG] Latex question...

[Jeff Abrahamson <jeff@purple.com>]

I have a quick Latex question, and my web searches haven't helped me
tonight.

I want to write an environment in Latex that lets me do the following
in a homework assignment:

    \begin{question}
    What is the answer?
    \end{question}

    \begin{answer}
    This is the answer.

    This is why.
    \end{answer}

I'm pretty sure I understand creating environments, but I'm having
trouble getting font changes that are durable over paragraphs. TeX
would allow me to just say

    {\tt
    One paragraph.

    Two paragraphs.

    Three paragraphs. Wa, wa, wa!
    }

But \texttt{...} causes problems when it tries to span paragraphs.

Any Latex users in the crowd know how to do this?

Thanks much in advance.
