This is a documentation subpage for Template:Terminate sentence It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
{{Quote}}
adds a block quotation to an article page.
This is easier to type and more wiki-like than the equivalent HTML <blockquote>...</blockquote>
tags, and has additional pre-formatted attribution and source parameters.
Note: Block quotes do not normally contain quotation marks. See MOS:QUOTE.
Synopsis
- Unnamed (positional) parameters
{{quote|phrase|person|source}}
This markup will fail if any parameter contains an equals sign (=).
- Numbered (positional) parameters
{{quote|1=phrase|2=person|3=source}}
- Named parameters
{{quote|text=phrase|sign=person|source=source}}
Example
- Wikitext
{{Quote|text=Cry "Havoc" and let slip the dogs of war.|sign=[[William Shakespeare]]|source=''[[Julius Caesar (play)|Julius Caesar]]'', act III, scene I}}
- Result
Cry "Havoc" and let slip the dogs of war.
— William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, act III, scene I
Restrictions
If you do not provide quoted text, the template generates a parser error message, which will appear in red text in the rendered page.
If any parameter's actual value contains an equals sign (=), you must use named parameters. (The equals sign gets interpreted as a named parameter otherwise.)
If any parameter's actual value contains characters used for wiki markup syntax (such as pipe, brackets, single quotation marks, etc.), you may need to escape it. See Template:! and friends.
Be wary of URLs which contain restricted characters. The equals sign is especially common.
Multiple paragraphs
(This section is transcluded from Template:Blockquote paragraphs)
The <blockquote>
element and any templates that use it do not honor newlines:
Markup | Renders as |
---|---|
|
|
An easy solution is to use the {{poemquote}} template instead of <tag>
. This is effectively the same as using the <poem>
tag inside <blockquote>
, which converts line breaks to <br />
tags:
Markup | Renders as |
---|---|
|
|
To markup actual paragraphs within block quotations, entire blank lines can be used between them, which will convert to <p>...</p>
tags:
Markup | Renders as |
---|---|
|
|
This paragraph style also works with {{quote}}, which is a replacement for <tag>
that also has parameters to make formatting of the attribution more conveniently and consistently.
