=== Nested quotations ===
The {{code|lang=html|code=<blockquote>...</blockquote>}} element has styles that change the font size: on desktop, text is smaller; on mobile, it is larger. This change is relative to the enclosing context, meaning that if you quote from a source that itself uses a block quotation, you'll find that the inner quotation is either really tiny and hard to read, or really large and barely fits on the screen. To fix this issue, add the parameter {{para|style|{{code|lang=css|font-size:inherit;}}}} on any inner {{tl|Quote}} templates.
=== Mis-detection of wikimarkup ===
The template uses {{tlx|trim quotes}} to remove quotation marks from around quotations when put into block format (per [[MOS:BQ]]). However, if the quoted material happens to both begin and end with italics in {{kbd|<nowiki>''</nowiki>}} format or boldface in {{kbd|<nowiki>'''</nowiki>}} format, these will be partially mis-detected as regular quotation marks, which will result in unintended output. There are several workarounds for this problem:
* Insert <code><nowiki /></code> at the beginning of the quoted material, before any {{kbd|<nowiki>''</nowiki>}} or {{kbd|<nowiki>'''</nowiki>}} markup
* Change the {{kbd|<nowiki>''</nowiki>}} markup to explicit HTML {{tag|i}}, and {{kbd|<nowiki>'''</nowiki>}} to {{tag|b}}
* add the parameter {{para|notrim|y}} (or any other value, e.g. {{para|notrim|yes}}, {{para|notrim|1}}).
Use of any of these will have the effect of suppressing quotation-marks trimming entirely. A more robust solution at [[Template talk:Trim Quotes]] is being sought so that these work-arounds are not necessary.
