{{Quote box{{\sandbox}} |width=30em |title=Title |quote={{Lorem ipsum}} |author=Author Name |source=source in "Quotes" or ''Italics'' as needed}}

This template can be used for [[block quotation]]s (long quotes set off from the main text). However, this use is not advised {{em|in articles}}. The [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Block quotations|Manual of Style guidelines for block quotations]] recommend formatting block quotations using the {{tlx|Blockquote}} template or the HTML &lt;[[blockquote]]&gt; element, for which that template provides a wrapper.

* Quotes work best when used with short sentences, and at the start or end of a section, as a hint of or to help emphasize the section's content.
* For typical quotes, especially those longer than the rest of the paragraph in which they are quoted, {{tlx|Cquote}} provides a borderless quote with decorative quotation marks, and {{tlx|Quote frame}} provided a bordered quote. Both span the article width. (However, do not use {{tlx|Cquote}} for block quotations in articles.)
* For very short quotes, {{tlx|Rquote}} (with decorative quotation marks) or {{tlx|Quote box}} (framed) can be used to set the quote off to either the right or left as in a magazine [[Sidebar (publishing)|sidebar]]. This can be effective on [[WP:ESSAY|essay]] pages and [[WP:WIKIPROJECT|WikiProject]] homepages.

== Usage ==
For actual quotes, and poems, this template (a variant of {{tlx|Quote frame}}) can be used to present a title, quote, author, and source in a box such as that shown opposite, with options to customise its bordering, background, alignment and other aspects. 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, so it may malfunction if indented using wikitext syntax. This is a current limitation of the Wikipedia [[HTML]] parsing software.

When used with a poem, it is convenient to wrap the poem's content in {{tag|poem}} tags; these preserve line breaks without having to manually insert {{tag|br|s}} markup.

{{Quote box|To be or not to be ...}}

=== Parameters ===

'''Basic parameters'''
* {{para|title}}: Optional title to appear at the top of the quote box.
* {{para|quote}}: The quote or other text to be displayed in the box.
* {{para|author}}: Optional name of the author. A {{tag|ref}} reference citation can be added at the end.
* {{para|source}}: Optional source of the quote ("Quoted" or ''Italic'' work title, and other publication data). A {{tag|ref}} reference citation can be added at the end.

'''Main box styling'''
* {{para|align}}: Alignment of the quote box on the page—left / right / center / none. Defaults to right alignment. Using <nowiki>align=none</nowiki> will remove word wrapping.
* {{para|width}}: The width of the quote box. Defaults to the width of the quote included, unless {{para|align|center}} or {{para|align|none}} where the width will default to 100%.
* {{para|border}}: The width of the quote box border. Defaults to 1px. Remember to include 'px' or 'em' to specify the correct width.
* {{para|fontsize}}: The fontsize of the quote box text. Defaults to 88%.
* {{para|bgcolor}}: The RGB background color of the box. Defaults to #F9F9F9 (light gray).
* {{para|style}}: A generic CSS style parameter. Entries in this parameter supersede any duplicates in the preceding parameters.

'''Title styling'''
* {{para|title_bg}}: The RGB background color of the title. Defaults to #F9F9F9 (light gray).
* {{para|title_fnt}}: The title font color. Defaults to black.
* {{para|tstyle}}: A generic CSS style parameter. Entries in this parameter supersede any duplicates in the preceding title parameters.

'''Quote styling'''
* {{para|qalign}}: Alignment of the quote element—left / right / center. Defaults to left.
* {{para|qstyle}}: A generic CSS style parameter. Entries in this parameter supersede any duplicates in the preceding quote parameters.
* {{para|quoted}}: If this parameter evaluates to true (is not 0, false, or empty) the quote box will enclose the quote in ''fat-quotes''. Use judiciously; quote marks do not display in mainspace (articles) per [[MOS:BLOCKQUOTE]].

'''Source styling'''
These affect the entire {{para|author}} and {{para|source}} block, below the quotation.
* {{para|salign}}: Alignment of the source element—left / right / center. Defaults to the value of qalign.
* {{para|sstyle}}: A generic CSS style parameter. Entries in this parameter supersede any duplicates in the preceding source parameters.

==== Custom classes ====
;This parameter should only be used by editors who fully understand how this template works.
The "class=" parameter can be used add a generic CSS class to this template. Some classes are not compatible with other options or require specific options be set to be useful or look good.

===== Letterhead custom class =====
The "letterhead" class should be used with {{para|title_bg|none}}, {{para|border|none}}, and {{para|bgcolor}} either not used or set to "none". Since the upper-left-corner will have a white background, it should only be used on pages with a white background.

Care should be taken that neither the title nor the text extends into the "left corner" portion of the box. To use a blank line for a title, use {{para|title|&amp;nbsp;}}. To provide a blank line at the bottom of the letterhead, add <nowiki><br /><br /></nowiki> to the end of the {{para|source}} parameter (or {{para|author}}, if {{para|source}} was not used).

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Quote box
 |class    = letterhead
 |title    = &nbsp;
 |tstyle   = text-align: right;
 |title_bg = none
 |border   = none

==== Collapsing text ====

Sections of text can be collapsed by use of {{tl|hidden begin}} and {{tl|hidden end}}.

{{markup

|title   = The Spider and the Fly
|halign  = center
|quote   = <poem>
"Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Spider to the Fly,
"'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy;
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I've a many curious things to shew when you are there."
"''Oh no, no,''" said the little Fly,&nbsp;"''to ask me is in vain,''
''For who goes up your winding stair can ne'er come down again.''"

"I'm sure you must be weary, dear, with soaring up so high;

"There are pretty curtains drawn around; the sheets are fine and thin,
And if you like to rest awhile, I'll snugly tuck you in!"

''They never, never wake again, who sleep upon your bed!''"

Note that, although {{para|halign|center}}, the centering is reset after the {{tl|hidden begin}}, since that template applies its own styling. This can be resolved by using {{para|contentstyle}} in {{tl|hidden begin}} with appropriate markup; in this case:
:{{tlx|hidden begin |ta2{{=}}center |contentstyle{{=}}margin: 1em auto;}}

{{markup
