{{tlx|Quote}} adds a [[block quotation]] to an article page.
This is easier to type and is more wiki-like than the equivalent [[HTML]] {{code|lang=html|code=<blockquote>...</blockquote>}} tags, and has additional pre-formatted attribution parameters for author and source (though these are not usually used in articles; {{
'''Note:''' Block quotes do {{em|not}} normally contain quotation marks {{
{{warning|heading=This template is for actual quotations only.|text=Do not use it for block indentation of other material; see {{tlx|Block indent}} for that purpose.}}

=== Displayed attribution ===
These parameters for for {{em|displaying}} attribution information below the quote; this should not be confused with a citing a source {{
{{para|author}} a.k.a. {{para|2}} – optional author/speaker attribution information that will appear below the quotation, and preceded with an attribution dash.
{{para|title}} a.k.a. {{para|3}} – optional title of the work the quote appears in, to display below the quotation. This parameter immediately follows the output of {{para|author}} (and an auto-generated comma), if one is provided. It does not auto-italicize. Major works (books, plays, albums, feature films, etc.) should be italicized; minor works (articles, chapters, poems, songs, TV episodes, etc.) go in quotation marks {{
{{para|source}} a.k.a. {{para|4}} – optionally used for additional source information to display, after {{para|title}}, like so: {{code|lang=moin|code={{!}}title="The Aerodynamics of Shaved Weasels" {{!}}source=''Perspectives on Mammal Barbering'', 2016}}; a comma will be auto-generated between the two parameters. If {{para|source}} is used without {{para|title}}, it simply acts as {{para|title}}. <small>(This parameter was added primarily to ease conversion from misuse of the [[pull quote]] template {{tlx|Quote frame}} for block quotation, but it may aid in cleaner meta-data implementation later.)</small>

=== Rarely used technical parameters ===
{{para|style}} – allows specifying additional [[Help:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] styles ({{em|not}} classes) to apply to the {{code|lang=html|code=<blockquote>...</blockquote>}} element. {{

Please do not place the citation in a {{para|author}} or {{para|source}} parameter by itself, as it will produce a nonsensical attribution line that looks like:<br />{{in5}}— {{

=== Line breaks ===
This template sets a text style which might ignore one blank line, and so the template must be ended with a break (newline) or the next blank line might be ignored. Otherwise, beware inline, as:<br />{{in5}}text here {{
