Template:Reduced pull quote/doc
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Reduced pull quote. It contains usage information, categories, interlanguage links and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
- NOTE: This template should not be used for block quotations in article text. For long quotations in the text, the Manual of Style recommends using the HTML <blockquote> element or the {{quote}} template (which produces the blockquote tag).
- NOTE: This template should not be used for quotations if they are not repeated elsewhere in the main text. The Manual of Style recommendation is:
- Pull quotes work best when used with short sentences, and at the start or end of a section, as a hint of the section's content.
- {{Reduced pull quote}} is a variant of the Centered pull quote, intended for relatively short pull quotes of 50 or 100 words. It results in a floating quote with the article text wrapping around it, like an image.
- Pull quotes work best when used with short quotes, and at the start or end of a section, to help emphasize the content of the section. For longer pull quotes, especially those more than a paragraph, or longer than the rest of the paragraph they are quoted in, a similar effect (across the page) can be produced by Cquote.
