Usage
[edit]This template is for formatting a quotation. The second and third parameters are used for the cited author and work. They should not be used if the quotation has different formatting to the one provided.
The default style is an extra margin on the left and right sides, but this can be set on a per-work basis with Index CSS.
The split templates {{quote/s}} and {{quote/e}} are available for spanning page breaks. The citation parameters are not available in this case.
Parameters
[edit]- 1: the quoted text
- 2: a citation author, which comes after the quote (not available for the /s, /e split version)
- 3: a citation work, which comes after the author (not available for the /s, /e split version)
- class: extra CSS classes (
wst-quoteis always applied in addition). You can target these classes with Index CSS. - align: text alignment of the content (e.g.
center). - style: extra CSS style to apply to the quoted text. Do not use quotes, the template supplies them.

CSS
[edit]Target the wst-quote class with CSS to apply styles to this template. You can also specify your own class name with the class parameter (e.g. if the work has multiple quote styles).
A common use case is to remove the default right margin inset:
.wst-quote {
margin-right: 0;
}
