{{tlx|Quote}} adds a block quotation to a page.

<!-- Add cats and interwikis to the /doc subpage, not here! -->
This is easier to type and more wiki-like than the equivalent HTML {{tag|blockquote}} tags, and has additional pre-formatted attribution and source parameters. <!-- THIS WORKAROUND FAILED; see talk page and its archives. New workaround provided hereafter. It also contains a workaround for [[Bugzilla:6200]], which means you don't need to type {{tag|p}} tags manually. -->

=== Synopsis ===
 
 
 
;Unnamed (positional) parameters
 
<code><nowiki>{{quote|phrase|person|source}}</nowiki></code>
 
This markup will fail if any parameter contains an equals sign (=).
 
 
 
;Numbered (positional) parameters
 
<code><nowiki>{{quote|1=phrase|2=person|3=source}}</nowiki></code>
 
 
 
;Named parameters
 
<code><nowiki>{{quote|text=phrase|sign=person|source=source}}</nowiki></code>
 
 
 
=== Example ===
 
 
 
;Wikitext:
 
<code><nowiki>{{Quote|text=Cry "Havoc" and let slip the dogs of war.|sign=William Shakespeare|source=''Julius Caesar'', act III, scene I}}</nowiki></code>
 
 
 
;Result:
 
{{Quote|text=Cry "Havoc" and let slip the dogs of war.|sign=William Shakespeare|source=''Julius Caesar'', act III, scene I}}
 
 
 
=== 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 ===
 
 
 
<div style="float: right; padding: 0 1em;">{{navbar|Blockquote paragraphs|plain=y}}</div>
 
The {{tag|blockquote|o}} element and any templates that use it do not honor newlines:
 
{{markup
 
|<nowiki><blockquote>
 
Line 1
 
Line 2
 
Line 3
 
Line 4
 
</blockquote></nowiki>
 
|<blockquote>
 
Line 1
 
Line 2
 
Line 3
 
Line 4
 
</blockquote>
 
}}
 
 
 
To resolve this, use the {{xtag|poem}} tag inside {{tag|blockquote|o}}:
 
{{markup
 
|<nowiki><blockquote><poem>
 
Line 1
 
Line 2
 
Line 3
 
Line 4
 
</poem></blockquote></nowiki>
 
|<blockquote><poem>
 
Line 1
 
Line 2
 
Line 3
 
Line 4
 
</poem></blockquote>
 
}}
