Cquote1.svg quote Cquote2.svg

is a template meant for pull-quotes (i.e. the text in the cited quote also appears within the article body), which break up an article and give a point of focus to encourage reading the full article.


  1. {{QuoteLeft|quote text}}
  2. {{QuoteLeft|quote text|quotewidth=10px|quoteheight=10px}} or {{QuoteLeft|quote text|10px|10px}}
  3. {{QuoteLeft|quote text|quote width in pixels|quote height in pixels|Origin of quote|Cited source}}
  4. {{QuoteLeft|quote text|4=Origin of quote}}

Only the first parameter is required, the last example above allows the quote to be attributed without having to specify the size of the quote marks.


  • Parameter 1: text of the quote; use <br /> between paragraphs. [REQUIRED]
Note: if the quote text contains one or more "=" (equal signs), then the template must be called as {{QuoteLeft|1=quote text}} (see "Equals sign in parameter value")


  • Parameter 3: "quoteheight" - desired height of the quote image; defaults to 10px.


  • Parameter 4: Name of the person that wrote or spoke the text being quoted. Can include links. (Can also be called as source)


{{QuoteLeft|quote text}}

As Amy Tan once said

{{QuoteLeft|1=quote text}} (quote text contains an equal sign)
{{QuoteLeft|quote text|40px|40px}}
{{QuoteLeft|quote text|30px|30px|Origin of quote|Cited source}}
