Template:Documentation subpage


Usage

Template:Tlx adds a block quotation to a page.

This is easier to type and more wiki-like than the equivalent HTML Template:Tag tags, and has additional pre-formatted attribution and source parameters.


Synopsis

Unnamed (positional) parameters

{{quote|phrase|person|source}} This markup will fail if any parameter contains an equals sign (=).

Numbered (positional) parameters

{{quote|1=phrase|2=person|3=source}}

Named parameters

{{quote|text=phrase|sign=person|source=source}}

Example

Wikitext

{{Quote|text=Cry "Havoc" and let slip the dogs of war.|sign=William Shakespeare|source=''Julius Caesar'', act III, scene I}}

Result

"{{{1}}}"
— {{{2}}}


Restrictions

If you do not provide quoted text, the template generates a parser error message, which will appear in red text in the rendered page.

If any parameter's actual value contains an equals sign (=), you must use named parameters. (The equals sign gets interpreted as a named parameter otherwise.)

If any parameter's actual value contains characters used for wiki markup syntax (such as pipe, brackets, single quotation marks, etc.), you may need to escape it. See Template:! and friends.

Be wary of URLs which contain restricted characters. The equals sign is especially common.

Multiple paragraphs

Template:Navbar

The Template:Tag element and any templates that use it do not honor newlines: Template:Markup

To resolve this, use the Template:Xtag tag inside Template:Tag: Template:Markup

TemplateData

Template:TemplateDataHeader <templatedata>{ 

 "description": "Adds a block quotation.",
 "params": {
   "text": {
     "label": "text",
     "description": "The text to quote",
     "type": "string",
     "required": false,
     "aliases": [ "1", "quote" ]
   },
   "sign": {
     "label": "sign",
     "description": "The person who is being quoted",
     "type": "string",
     "required": false,
     "aliases": [ "2", "cite" ]
   },
   "source": {
     "label": "source",
     "description": "A source for the quote",
     "type": "string",
     "required": false,
     "aliases": [ "3" ]
   }
 }

}</templatedata>
