Line 201:
Note that the quote template automatically indents the quote; there's no need to do so yourself with additional markup. Nor do you need to separate the paragraphs (or lines) of the quote with a blank line or an HTML <code><nowiki><br/></nowiki></code> tag. Also note that the last part of the quote -- called the attribution -- starts with a vertical bar and is on a separate line. This isn't strictly necessary, but it makes multi-line quotes look better. It's also not mandatory -- if your quote has no attribution, you can skip it. Or you can just put in who said it and skip the work. It's flexible.
You can use virtually any markup inside a quote, including internal and external links. Note that each line inside a quote is, in effect, a separate paragraph, separate from the rest even for markup. Any kind of markup
The {{tl|quote}} template does have one annoying idiosyncracy -- if the quote you're adding (or its attribution, like a link to YouTube) has an equals sign -- "=" -- in it, that part of the quote will not display, because the wiki will mistake it for a parameter and "eat" it. You need to replace every equals sign in your quote with a special code -- <nowiki>{{=}}</nowiki> -- which will ''not'' get eaten and will behave like a proper equals sign when it comes to text and links.
