Usage
The first parameter takes the quote itself, the second the author, and the third the work being quoted. See {{quote}} for single quote marks.
Blockquote or {{Quotation}} is preferable
In most cases it is preferable to use the <blockquote> markup for quotations or the {{Quotation}} template that uses the <blockquote> markup.
For example,
<blockquote>The ink of the learned is equal in merit to the blood of the martyrs.</blockquote>
gives the following result:
The ink of the learned is equal in merit to the blood of the martyrs.
Or, using the {{Quotation}} template,
{{quotation|The ink of the learned is equal in merit to the blood of the martyrs.|Louis de Bernières|Birds Without Wings}}
gives the following result:
The ink of the learned is equal in merit to the blood of the martyrs. — Louis de Bernières, Birds Without Wings
Basic example using Cquote
{{cquote|The ink of the learned is equal in merit to the blood of the martyrs.}}
gives the following result:
| “ | The ink of the learned is equal in merit to the blood of the martyrs. | ” |
