Usage
[edit]{{Quote}} is a template meant for displaying quotations. Quotes work best when used with short sentences, and at the start or end of a section, as a hint of the following section's content.
Syntax
[edit]{{quote|quote text}}{{quote|quote text|author=author or speaker}}{{quote|quote text|author=author or speaker|source=title of article, speech, book, etc.}}
Parameters
[edit]- 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 {{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
- wide
- 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.
Simple example
[edit]{{quote|quote text}} | “ | To be, or not to be. | ” |
