Template:Blockquote/doc

This template is integrated many times. If you know exactly what the effects are, you can edit it. In most cases, however, it makes sense to first vote on change requests on Template Discussion.

Usage

Template:Tlc adds a block quotation to an article page.

This is easier to type and is more wiki-like than the equivalent HTML Template:Code tags, and has additional pre-formatted attribution parameters for author and source (though these are not usually used in articles; Template:Crossreference).

Note: Block quotes do Template:Em normally contain quotation marks Template:Crossreference.

Examples
