Template:Interwikitmp-grpTemplate:TOCright

{{Cquote}} (for Centered pull-quote) is a template meant for pull-quotes, 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 section, to help emphasize the content of the section.
  • For shorter pull-quotes of 50 words or fewer in a similar style, consider using {{Rquote}} which sets the quote off to either the right or left as in a magazine sidebar.

NOTE: This template should not be used for block quotes in article text. For long quotations in the text, the Manual of Style recommends using the HTML <blockquote> element, such as through the use of the {{Quote}} template.

Usage

  1. {{cquote|quote text}}
  2. {{cquote|quote text|quotewidth=40px}} or {{cquote|quote text|40px|}}
  3. {{cquote|quote text|quote width in pixels||Origin of quote|Cited source}}Template:Iwhich is to say:

Template:Ibulltitle of article or book is same as Origin of quoteTemplate:Ibullauthor is same as Cited source

Only the first parameter is required.
But since sizes are slotted into the second parameter place by default, to cite a source one must deliberately define dummy parameters for those (abusing the template logic which expects numbers), or explicitly define the source publication and author as 4= and 5= respectively (using them as named parameters—the preprocessor takes such fine):

{{cquote|Publishers of English classics for the educational trade, [[Harrap]] was also known for publishing finely illustrated books by Rackham, Gooden, and others, and as the publisher of Winston Churchill.
|4=this is four
|5=this is five}} 

Parameters

Parameter 1

Parameter 2
"size", "quotewidth", or "width" can also be used. - desired size of the quotation marks; defaults to 20px (anything larger than 48px is not recommended). This can be used to scale the graphical quotation marks up and down to suit larger or smaller quotes.
Parameter 3
"quoteheight" - it was used for desired height of the quotation marks, but no longer.
Parameter 4
Name of the person that wrote or spoke the text being quoted. Can include links.
Note: if the text contains one or more "=" (equal signs), then the template must be called as {{cquote|4=text}}
Parameter 5
Source of the quote (publication title, speech, etc.). Can include links.
Note: if the text contains one or more "=" (equal signs), then the template must be called as {{cquote|5=text}}

{{cquote|quote text}}
{{cquote|1=quote text}}

(quote text contains an equal sign)

{{cquote|quote text|40px}}

For example,

{{cquote|And when they've given you their all / Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy / Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall.|30px||[[Pink Floyd]]|''[[The Wall]]''}}
