Usage
These usage notes will not be included in articles bearing this template.
This is a formatting template used to add a block quote to an article.
The format for using this template is as follows:
{{Quote|1=I'LL BREAK YOU DEAD!|2=Christian Weston Chandler|3=Phone message to Jason Kendrick Howell}}
- Displays:
—Christian Weston Chandler, Phone message to Jason Kendrick Howell |
Template structure
{{quote| 1 | 2 | 3 |color=silver|size=360%}}
Notes
- The "color" and "size" parameters refer to the quotation marks—not the text.
- If you want to change the color and size variables, you must declare the parameter explicitly (i.e. you must include "color=" or "size=").
- If you want to change the size parameter, then you must include a unit of measurement (e.g. %, px, pt).
- "If a parameter value contains an equals sign, the parameter name must be declared explicitly." This means that if you want to include a URL in your quote, and if that URL contains an equals sign, then you must explicitly declare the parameter. All that means is that you should add "1=", "2=", or "3=", as appropriate, ahead of your quote text, speaker, or source, like this: {{quote|1=Quote text|2=Person|3=Source|color=silver|size=360%}}
{{Quote|1=I'LL BREAK YOU DEAD!|2=Chris|3=URL with = sign|color=blue|size=500%}}
- Displays:
—Chris, URL with = sign |
