Author Name, source in "Quotes" or Italics as needed
This template can be used for block quotations (long quotes set off from the main text). However, this use is only rarely appropriate in articles. The Manual of Style guidelines for block quotations recommend formatting block quotations using the {{Blockquote}}
template.
{{Cquote}}
provides a borderless quote with decorative quotation marks, and {{Quote frame}}
provides a bordered quote. Both span the article width. (However, do not use {{Cquote}}
for block quotations in articles.){{Rquote}}
(with decorative quotation marks) or {{Quote box}}
(framed) can be used to set the quote off to either the right or left as in a magazine sidebar. This can be effective on essay pages and WikiProject homepages.
