Template:Quote test/doc

Purpose

{{Quote}} adds a block quotation to an article page.

Note: Block quotes do not normally contain quotation marks. See MOS:Blockquote.

How to use

{{quote|The Quoted Phrase|The Person Who Said It|The Work It Came From}}

Example

Entering {{Quote|Cry "Havoc" and let slip the dogs of war.|[[William Shakespeare]]|''[[Julius Caesar (play)|Julius Caesar]]'', act III, scene I}} yields the following result:

Cry "Havoc" and let slip the dogs of war.

—William Shakespeare, 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.
