{{Pull quote/boilerplate}}
This template is meant for [[pull quote]]s, the visually distinctive {{em|repetition}} of text that is {{em|already present}} on the same page. In most cases, this is not appropriate for use in encyclopedia articles. The [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Block quotations|Manual of Style guidelines for block quotations]] recommend formatting block quotations using the {{tlx|Quote}} template or the HTML <[[blockquote]]> element, for which that template provides a wrapper.
 
* Pull quotes work best when used with short sentences, and at the start or end of a section, as a hint of or to help emphasize the section's content.
* For typical pull quotes, especially those longer than the rest of the paragraph in which they are quoted, {{tlx|Pull quote}} provides a borderless quote with decorative quotation marks, and {{tlx|Quote frame}} provided a bordered quote. Both span the article width.
* For very short pull quotes, {{tlx|Reduced pull quote}} (with decorative quotation marks) or {{tlx|Quote box}} (framed) can be used to set the quote off to either the right or left as in a magazine [[Sidebar (publishing)|sidebar]]. This can be effective on [[WP:ESSAY|essay]] pages and [[WP:WIKIPROJECT|WikiProject]] homepages.
