== Usage ==
{{tlxtl|Quote}} adds a block quotation to an article page.
 
This is easier to type and more wiki-like than the equivalent HTML {{tag|blockquote}} tags, and has additional pre-formatted attribution and source parameters.

=== Example ===
;Wikitext:
<code><nowiki>{{Quote|text=They are in very good form, and prepared to look smiling under all possible circumstances. I had a talk yesterday on the futility of grousing and the necessity of making the best instead of the worst of everything. Sandbags much wanted. I have been in the trenches a lot to-day, and see how useful a private supply would be. Difficulty in keeping the walls standing, owing to the quantity of water, and there is nothing like sandbags.|sign=[[Percy Wilfrid Machell]]|source=Record of the XIth (Service) Battalion (Lonsdale) - In France}}</nowiki></code>
<code><nowiki>{{Quote|text=Cry "Havoc" and let slip the dogs of war.|sign=[[William Shakespeare]]|source=''[[Julius Caesar (play)|Julius Caesar]]'', act III, scene I}}</nowiki></code>
 
;Result:
{{Quote|text=They are in very good form, and prepared to look smiling under all possible circumstances. I had a talk yesterday on the futility of grousing and the necessity of making the best instead of the worst of everything. Sandbags much wanted.

=== Restrictions ===
Line 29:
 
If any parameter's actual value contains an ''equals sign'' (=), you '''''must''''' either use named parameters or replace the equals sign with <code><nowiki>{{=}}</nowiki></code>. (The equals sign gets interpreted as a named parameter otherwise.) See [[Template:=]].
 
If any parameter's actual value contains characters used for wiki markup syntax (such as pipe, brackets, single quotation marks, etc.), you may need to escape it. See [[Template:!]] and friends.
 
Be wary of URLs which contain restricted characters. The equals sign is especially common.
