 | If this template is used in article space, it will suppress the display of decorative curly quote marks, per MOS:BLOCKQUOTE. |
The Manual of Style guidelines for block quotations recommend formatting block quotations using the {{Blockquote}} template or the HTML <blockquote> element, for which that template provides a wrapper.
- Quotes work best when used with short sentences, and at the start or end of a section, as a hint of or to help emphasize the section's content.
- For typical quotes, especially those longer than the rest of the paragraph in which they are quoted, {{Cquote}} (for use outside of article space only) provides a borderless quote with decorative quotation marks, and {{Quote frame}} provides a bordered quote. Both span the page width.
- For very short quotes, {{Rquote}} (with decorative quotation marks, for use outside of article space only) or {{Quote box}} (framed) can be used to set the quote off to either the right or left as in a magazine sidebar. This can be effective on essay pages and WikiProject homepages.
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|quote=text of the quotation|author=person quoted|source=source of the quotation}}
Parameters
- Parameter
1,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. For example:{{Cquote|quote=quote text=more quoted text}}.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=#FF0000for 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.
quotealign- set to center to center align the quote text.
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
