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
{{pullquote|quote text}}
{{pullquote|quote text|quotewidth=40px|quoteheight=40px}}
or{{pullquote|quote text|40px|40px}}
{{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)
{{pullquote|quote text|40px|40px}}
{{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>}}
