Template:Cquote

Usage
Centered pull quote is a template meant for pull quotes, the visually distinctive text that is already present in the same article.


 * NOTE: This template should not be used for quotations if they are not repeated elsewhere in the main text. The Manual of Style recommendation is:
 * For visually distinctive quotation, use Quotation template.
 * For long quotations, use the HTML &lt;blockquote&gt; element, such as through the use of the Quote or quote box template.
 * Pull quotes work best when used with short sentences, and at the start or end of a section, as a hint of the section's content.
 * 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. This can be effective on essay pages and WikiProject homepages.

Parameters

 * Parameter 1: text of the quote; use  between paragraphs.
 * Required
 * Note: if the quote text contains one or more "=" (equal signs), then the template must be called as (see "Equals sign in parameter value")


 * author: Name of the person that wrote or spoke the text being quoted. Can include wiki syntax.
 * source: Source of the quote (publication title, speech, etc.). Can include wiki syntax.
 * bgcolor: The color of the background.
 * wide: When set to "yes", the quote expands to the entire width of the page. Useful for small quotes, but may clash with other floating objects, such as infoboxes.
