Usage

  • You should not put quotation marks around the quote. This template acts as a pull quote to separate it from the text instead.


  • {{Quotation|quoted material|Author|Title|Publication}}

quoted material

— Author, Title, Publication

  • {{Quotation|quoted material|Author||skip italics to use '' '' for italics}}

quoted material

— Author, skip italics to use '' '' for italics

  • {{Quotation|quoted material|Author|Title|}}

quoted material

— Author, Title


  • {{Quotation|quoted material}}

quoted material

The equal sign (=)

If any of the parameters include an equal sign, this will make the template not recognize the parameter properly. To fix this the parameter needs to be prefixed with "1=", "2=", etc., depending on which parameter this applies to.
