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


The Manual of Style guidelines for block quotations recommend formatting block quotations using the {{Quote}} template or the HTML <blockquote> element, for which that template provides a wrapper.

  • 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, and {{Quote frame}} provided a bordered quote. Both span the article width.
  • For very short quotes, {{Rquote}} (with decorative quotation marks) or {{Quote box}} (framed) can be used to set the quote off to either the right or left as in a magazine sidebar. This can be effective on essay pages and WikiProject homepages.

Usage

This template provides a page-width-spanning quotation in a bordered box, on a light grey background. Do not put quotation marks around the quoted material.

Markup Renders as
{{Quote frame |quote=Quoted material |author=Author |title=Title |source=other details}}

{{Quote frame|Quoted material|Author|Title|other details}}
Quoted material — Author, Title, other details
{{Quote frame |quote=Quoted material |author=Author |source="Article Title", ''Newspaper Name'', date}}

{{Quote frame|Quoted material|Author||"Article Title", ''Newspaper Name'', date}}
Quoted material — Author, "Article Title", Newspaper Name, date
In the short syntax, the 3rd parameter (which auto-italicizes) has been included but left empty to skip it, and we use the 4th to manually apply italics where needed.
{{Quote frame |quote=Quoted material |author=Author |title=Title}}

{{Quote frame|Quoted material|Author|Title}}
Quoted material — Author, Title
{{Quote frame |quote=Quoted material}}

{{Quote frame|Quoted material}}
Quoted material
{{Quote frame |quote=Quoted material |source="Article Title", ''Newspaper Name'', date}}

{{Quote frame|Quoted material|||"Article Title", ''Newspaper Name'', date}}
Quoted material — "Article Title", Newspaper Name, date
In the short syntax, we skip two parameters by giving them empty.
{{Quote frame|Quoted material |align=center}}
Quoted material
{{Quote frame|Quoted material |align=right}}
Quoted material

The equal sign (=)

If any of the parameters' content include an equal sign (=) in its input, this will make the template not recognize the parameter properly unless:

  • The parameters are named or numbered:

     {{Quote frame |quote=Einstein's equation, E=mc2, has to reach everywhere. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity, we should not distort it. |author=Abdul Kalam}}
     {{Quote frame |1=Einstein's equation, E=mc2, has to reach everywhere. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity, we should not distort it. |2=Abdul Kalam}}

  • The = in the content is escaped with the {{=}} template:

     {{Quote frame|Einstein's equation, E{{=}}mc2, has to reach everywhere. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity, we should not distort it.|Abdul Kalam}}

  • The = in the content is escaped with the &#61; character reference:

     {{Quote frame|Einstein's equation, E&#61;mc2, has to reach everywhere. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity, we should not distort it.|Abdul Kalam}}
