Usage

  • {{Pull quote}} is a template for presenting quotes. It is an alternative to similar templates such as {{Quote}}. It encloses the quote between two large quotation mark images.
  • For very short quotes, consider using {{Reduced pull quote}} which sets the quote off to either the right or left as in a magazine sidebar.

Syntax

  1. {{pull quote|quote text}}
  2. {{pull quote|quote text|author=author or speaker}}
  3. {{pull quote|quote text|author=author or speaker|source=title of article, speech, book, etc.}}

Parameters

Parameter 1
text of the quote; use <br /> between paragraphs.
Required
Note: if the quote text contains one or more "=" (equal signs), then the template must be called as {{pull quote|1=quote text}} (see "Equals sign in parameter value")
author
Name of the person that wrote or spoke the text being quoted. Can include wiki syntax.
source
Source of the quote (publication title, speech, etc.). Can include wiki syntax.
bgcolor
The color of the background.
float
Defaults to center, but can also be right or left

When set to "yes", the quote expands to the entire width of the page. Useful for small quotes, but may clash with other floating objects, such as infoboxes.
qcolor
