Template:Cquote/doc

Usage
For actual pull quotes, this template provides a centered, borderless pull quote, with scalable decorative quotation marks, and optional attribution of the source of the quote. It can be used with or without the names of the parameters.

Parameters

 * Parameter, a.k.a.  : text of the quote; use  around second or subsequent paragraphs.
 * Required
 * Note: if the quote text contains a  (equal sign), then the template must be called with a named parameter for the content, e.g..


 * : Name of the person that wrote or spoke the text being quoted. Can include wiki syntax.
 * : Source of the quote (publication title, speech, etc.). Can include wiki syntax. Can be used without author (e.g. for a scripture, law, or other source without an author per se)
 * : The color of the background.
 * : Defaults to center, but can also be right or left. Usually used with 30% or so (otherwise for quotes longer than one line on the rendered page, the float will have no useful effect).
 * : for example 30%
 * : color of quotemarks, for example #FF0000 for a red color (only for use in WP:Signpost, and personal pages; do not use in articles, guidelines, etc.)

Deprecated:
 * : In older versions of the template, when this was set to "yes", the quote expanded to the entire width of the page, which was useful for long quotes. However, it clashed with other floating objects, such as infoboxes, and the template now auto expands and line wraps as needed (full page, or within a width constraint).

Simple example
quote text To be, or not to be ...

Sourced example
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.

Other examples
F=ma (the 1= is necessary as quote text contains an equal sign) F=ma

Thus: $E=mc^2$ (quote text contains an equal sign and math syntax) Thus: $E=mc^2$
