Template:Quote

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template uses TemplateStyles:

Template:Quote/styles.css

This template uses block elements, e.g. <div> or <p>.
It should not be nested inside an inline element, e.g. <span>, or a template that produces such an element.

This template applies the class(es)
.wst-quote
that can be targeted with a work's index styles.css using page styles

See H:DIVSPAN for details.

Usage

This template is for formatting a quotation. The second and third parameters are used for the cited author and work. They should not be used if the quotation has different formatting to the one provided.

The default style is an extra margin on the left and right sides, but this can be set on a per-work basis with Index CSS.

The split templates {{quote/s}} and {{quote/e}} are available for spanning page breaks. The citation parameters are not available in this case.

Parameters

1: the quoted text
2: a citation author, which comes after the quote (not available for the /s, /e split version)
3: a citation work, which comes after the author (not available for the /s, /e split version)
class: extra CSS classes (wst-quote is always applied in addition). You can target these classes with Index CSS.
align: text alignment of the content (e.g. center).
style: extra CSS style to apply to the quoted text. Do not use quotes, the template supplies them.

Example

{{lorem ipsum}}
{{quote|'''With citation''': {{lorem ipsum}}|Albert Einstein|Life and Works}}
{{lorem ipsum}}
{{quote|style=color:blue;|'''With CSS''': {{lorem ipsum}}}}
{{lorem ipsum}}
