Vorlage:Cquote/Doku

Usage

For quotes, this template provides a centered, borderless quote, with scalable decorative quotation marks, and optional attribution of the source of the quote. It can be used with or without the names of the parameters.

Syntax

• {{Cquote|text=text of the quotation|author=person quoted|source=source of the quotation}}

Parameters

Parameter 1, a.k.a. quote

text of the quote; use <p>...</p> around second or subsequent paragraphs.

Required

Note: if the quote text contains a = (equal sign), then the template must be called with a named parameter for the content, e.g. {{Cquote|quote=quote text}} (see Help:Template § Usage hints and workarounds).

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. Can be used without |author= (e.g. for a scripture, law, or other source without an author per se)

bgcolor

The color of the background.

float

Defaults to center, but can also be right or left. Usually used with |width=30% or so (otherwise for quotes longer than one line on the rendered page, the float will have no useful effect).

width

for example |width=30%

qcolor

color of quotemarks, for example |qcolor=#FF0000 for a red color (only for use in WP:Signpost, and personal pages; do not use in articles, guidelines, etc.)

rtl

set to any non-blank value for quotes that should be rendered from right to left (e.g., Arabic). Adds the necessary dir attribute and reverses the quotes.

Deprecated:

wide

In older versions of the template, when this was set to "yes", the quote expanded to the entire width of the page, which was useful for long quotes. However, it clashed with other floating objects, such as infoboxes, and the template now auto expands and line wraps as needed (full page, or within a |width= constraint).

Simple example

{{Cquote|quote text}}

“ To be, or not to be ... ”

Sourced example

{{Cquote|Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.
|author=[[Albert Einstein]]
|source=in a letter to his son<ref>[[Walter Isaacson]], ''Einstein: His Life and Universe'' (2007), p. 367.</ref>
}}

“ Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving. ” — Albert Einstein, in a letter to his son

Other examples

{{Cquote|1=F=ma|author=[[Isaac Newton]]}}

(the 1= is necessary as quote text contains an equal sign)

“ F=ma ” — Isaac Newton

{{Cquote|1=Thus:
{{in5}}<math>E=mc^2</math>|author=[[Albert Einstein]]}}

(quote text contains an equal sign and math syntax)

“ Thus:

     <math>E=mc^2</math>

” — Albert Einstein

{{Cquote|Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.|source=First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States |float=right |width=30%}}

(source with no author; floated right and width-constrained)

“ Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. ” — First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States

Note that it will wrap around article text like this. Vorlage:Lorem

{{Cquote|Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.|source=First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States |width=50%}}

(same quote, no float, width constraint)

“ Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. ” — First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States

{{Cquote|Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.|source=First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States}}

(same quote, no float, no width setting – for short quote, would use as much of line as necessary, and for longer quotes, full width of page, wrapping for multiple lines.)
