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
