Template:Vquote/doc

Usage
Vquote is a variant of the Rquote and Cquote quotation templates. Where Cquote passages are set to use 100% of a page's width, and Rquote to 33%, Vquote allows the individual editor to set the percentage of the page width the quotation will occupy, similar to Quote_box. Rquote is intended for passages of 50 words or less, and Cquote for longer pull quotes. Vquote is intended to provide a middle ground between the two.

With the freedom to size the quotation, the editor takes responsibility for the aesthetics of the contribution. For instance, rather than setting Vquote at 50% or above, a page would probably be more readable using Cquote.

For long quotations in the text, the Manual of Style recommends using the HTML &lt;blockquote> element or the quote template (which produces the blockquote tag).

Parameters

 * alignment : left or right.
 * width : The width of the box, either a relative percentage of the screen such as 45%, or the user can set an absolute width such as 300px. If undefined, the template will assume 100%.
 * quote text : Text to be quoted, without quotation marks around it.
 * Note: If the quote text contains one or more "=" (equal signs), then the quote text must resemble (see "Equals sign in parameter value")


 * source : Individual or other party responsible for the quotation.
 * citation : Information on where the quotation was published.
