Author Name, source in "Quotes" or Italics as needed
This template can be used for block quotations (long quotes set off from the main text).
- 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}}provides a borderless quote with decorative quotation marks. Both span the article width. - For very short quotes,
{{Quote box}}(framed) can be used to set the quote off to either the right or left as in a magazine sidebar.
Parameters[edit source]
Put a quote, and its source, inside a box, with flexible control over bordering, background color, alignment, and other features
