Template:Rquote/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Rquote. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

{{Rquote}} is a variant of the {{Cquote}} quotation template, intended for relatively short pull quotes of 50 or 100 words. It results in a floating quote with the article text wrapping around it, like an image.

For longer pull quotes, especially those which are more than a paragraph, or are longer than the rest of the paragraph they are quoted in, a similar effect (across the page) can be produced by Cquote. For long quotations in the text, the Manual of Style recommends using the HTML <blockquote> element or the {{quote}} template (which produces the blockquote tag).

Align quote box to the right:

{{Rquote|right|Quote text|Origin of quote|Cited source}}

Align quote box to the left:

{{Rquote|left|Quote text|Origin of quote|Cited source}}

You should not put quotation marks around the quote. This template serves as a block quote to separate it from the text instead.

1. Alignment (left, right).
2. The Quote Text
3. Source (who said it?)
4. Citation (where was it said?)
