Insert the text of the quote here, without quotation marks. Template:Lorem ipsum

Template:T1 is a template meant for pull quotes, which stand apart from the text of a page. It generally should not be used in articles unless there is a good justification for doing so. Pull-quotes work best when used with short quotes, and at the start or end of a section, to help emphasize the content of the section.

NOTE: This template should not be used for block quotes in article text. For long quotations in the text, the Manual of Style recommends using the HTML <blockquote> element.

Usage

  1. {{pullquote|quote text}}
  2. {{pullquote|quote text|quotewidth=40px|quoteheight=40px}} or {{pullquote|quote text|40px|40px}}
  3. {{pullquote|quote text|quote width in pixels|quote height in pixels|Origin of quote|Cited source}}

Only the first parameter is required.

Parameters

  • 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 {{pullquote|1=quote text}}

The next two parameters can be used to scale the graphical quotation marks up and down to suit larger or smaller quotes.

  • Parameter 2: "quotewidth" - desired width of the quote image; defaults to 20px. (anything larger than 48px is not recommended.)
  • Parameter 3: "quoteheight" - desired height of the quote image; defaults to 20px.

The last two parameters can be used to provide attribution for the quote:

  • Parameter 4: Name of the person that wrote or spoke the text being quoted. Can include links.
Note: if the text contains one or more "=" (equal signs), then the template must be called as {{pullquote|4=text}}
  • Parameter 5: Source of the quote (publication title, speech, etc.). Can include links.
Note: if the text contains one or more "=" (equal signs), then the template must be called as {{pullquote|5=text}}

Examples

{{pullquote|quote text}}

As Amy Tan once said Template:Pullquote

{{pullquote|1=quote text}} (quote text contains an equal sign)

Template:Pullquote

{{pullquote|quote text|40px|40px}}

Template:Pullquote

{{pullquote|quote text|30px|30px|Origin of quote|Cited source}}

For example,

{{pullquote|And when they've given you their all / Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy / Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall.|30px|30px|[[Pink Floyd]]|''[[The Wall]]''}}

is rendered as Template:Pullquote

Example with ref tags:

{{pullquote|You don't get everything you want. A dictatorship would be a lot easier.|200|50|George W. Bush<ref>http://www.governing.com/archive/1998/jul/bush.txt</ref>}}
