== Usage ==
 
{{tlx|Quote}} adds a [[block quotation]] to an article page.
 
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. -->
 
'''Note:''' Block quotes do not normally contain quotation marks. See [[MOS:Blockquote]].
 
=== Synopsis ===
Line 31:
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 [[vertical bar|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.
