▲EDIT TEMPLATE DOCUMENTATION BELOW THIS LINE -->__NOTOC__
'''{{tl|Cquote}}''' is a template meant for [[pull-quote]]s, which stand apart from the text of a page. It generally should not be used in articles unless there is a good justification for doing so. Pull quotes work best when used with short quotes, and at the start or end of a sections, to help emphasis the content of section. For shorter pull-quotes of 50 words or less in a similar style, consider using {{tl|Rquote}}.▼

'''NOTE''': This template should '''not be used''' for [[block quote]]s in article text. For long quotations in the text, the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Quotations|Manual of Style]] recommends using the HTML <[[blockquote]]> element, such as through the use of the {{t1|quote}} template.
# <code><nowiki>{{cquote|quote text}}</nowiki></code>
# <code><nowiki>{{cquote|quote text|quotewidth=40px|quoteheight=40px}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{cquote|quote text|40px|40px}}</nowiki></code>
Line 15 ⟶ 13:
Only the first parameter is required.
* Parameter 1: text of the quote; use <code><nowiki><br />
:: '''''Required'''''
:: '''Note''': if the quote text contains one or more "=" (equal signs), then the template must be called as <nowiki>{{cquote|</nowiki>'''<span style="color:red;">1=</span>'''<nowiki>quote text}}</nowiki> (see [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Templates#Equals_sign_in_parameter_value "Equals sign in parameter value"])
The next two parameters can be used to scale the graphical [[quotation mark]]s up and down to suit larger or smaller quotes.
* Parameter 2: "quotewidth" - desired width of the quote image; defaults to 20px. (anything larger than 48px is not recommended.)
* Parameter 3: "quoteheight" - desired height of the quote image; defaults to 20px.
The last two parameters can be used to provide attribution for the quote:
* Parameter 4: Name of the person that wrote or spoke the text being quoted. Can include links.
* Parameter 5: Source of the quote (publication title, speech, etc.).
;<code><nowiki>{{cquote|quote text}}</nowiki></code>
As [[Amy Tan]] once said
{{
;<code><nowiki>{{cquote|1=quote text}}</nowiki></code> (quote text contains an equal sign)
