Documentation

{{Cquote}} is a template meant for pull-quotes, which stand apart from the text of a page. It generally should not be used in articles unless there is a good justification for doing so. Pull quotes work best when used with short quotes, and at the start or end of a sections, to help emphasis the content of section. For shorter pull-quotes of 50 words or less in a similar style, consider using {{Rquote}}.

NOTE: This template should not be used for block quotes in article text. For long quotations in the text, the Manual of Style recommends using the HTML <blockquote> element, such as through the use of the Vorlage:T1 template.

Usage

  1. {{cquote|quote text}}
  2. {{cquote|quote text|quotewidth=40px|quoteheight=40px}} or {{cquote|quote text|40px|40px}}
  3. {{cquote|quote text|quote width in pixels|quote height in pixels|Origin of quote|Cited source}}

Only the first parameter is required.

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 {{cquote|1=quote text}} (see "Equals sign in parameter value")

The next two parameters can be used to scale the graphical quotation marks up and down to suit larger or smaller quotes.

  • Parameter 2: "quotewidth" - desired width of the quote image; defaults to 20px
  • Parameter 3: "quoteheight" - desired height of the quote image; defaults to 20px.

The last two parameters can be used to provide attribution for the quote:

  • Parameter 4: Name of the person that wrote or spoke the text being quoted. Can include links.
  • Parameter 5: Source of the quote (publication title, speech, etc.). Can include links.

Examples

{{cquote|quote text}}

As Amy Tan once said

{{cquote|1=quote text}} (quote text contains an equal sign)
{{cquote|quote text|40px|40px}}
{{cquote|quote text|30px|30px|Origin of quote|Cited source}}
