Template documentation This documentation is transcluded from Template:Quote box/doc. (edit | history) Usage The {{quote box}} template allows you to easily put a quote (and its source) inside a box, with flexible control over bordering, background color, alignment, and other features. The box itself is floating div, which (like images) can appear on the right or left or across the entire page. Article text will wrap around the div in the first two cases. This is useful in articles that are short on images and need some graphic-like element, or where an important or interesting quote wants to be presented in a way that sets it off from the surrounding text. Caution: this is a div-based template, and may break if indented using wikitext syntax. This is a current limitation of the wikipedia HTML parsing software. Parameters Basic parameters title = Optional title to appear at the top of the quote box quote = The quote or text to be displayed in the box source = Optional source of the quote (author, publication, etc.) Main box styling align - Alignment of the quote box on the page - left/right/center. Defaults to right alignment. width - The width of the quote box. Defaults to the width of the quote included. border - The width of the quote box border. Defaults to 1px. Remeber to include 'px' or 'em' to specify the correct width. fontsize - The fontsize of the quote box text. Defaults to 88%. bgcolor - The RGB background color of the box.
