'''{{tl|Cquote}}''' (for '''Centered pull-quote''') is a template meant for [[pull-quote]]s, which stand apart from the text of a page.
 
* <font color="red">'''NOTE''': This template should '''not be used''' for [[block quotation]]squotations in article text.</font> For long quotations in the text, the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Quotations|Manual of Style]] recommends using the HTML &lt;[[blockquote]]&gt; element, such as through the use of the {{tl|Quote}} template.
* Pull-quotes work best when used with short quotes, and at the start or end of a section, to help emphasize the content of the section.
* For shorter pull-quotes of 50 words or fewer in a similar style, consider using {{tl|Rquote}} which sets 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.
