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, but with a smaller font than what is used for Template:Quote or Template:Squote.

The format for using this template is as follows:

{{Tinyquote|1=I'LL BREAK YOU DEAD!|2=Christian Weston Chandler|3=Phone message to Jason Kendrick Howell}}


- Displays:

 
 
I'LL BREAK YOU DEAD!
 

 

—Christian Weston Chandler, Phone message to Jason Kendrick Howell


Template structure

{{Tinyquote| 1 | 2 | 3 |color=silver|size=360%}}

Notes

  1. The "color" and "size" parameters refer to the quotation marks—not the text.
  2. If you want to change the color and size variables, you must declare the parameter explicitly (i.e. you must include "color=" or "size=").
  3. If you want to change the size parameter, then you must include a unit of measurement (e.g. %, px, pt).
  4. "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%}}
{{Tinyquote|1=I'LL BREAK YOU DEAD!|2=Chris|3=URL with = sign|color=blue|size=500%}}


- Displays:

 
 
I'LL BREAK YOU DEAD!
 

 

—Chris, URL with = sign
