This is a documentation subpage for Template:Rquote.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

{{Reduced pull quote}} is a template for presenting quotes. It is an alternative to similar templates such as {{Quote}}. It encloses the quote between two large quotation mark images. Best for very short quotes, it sets the quote off to either the right or left as in a magazine sidebar.
For longer quotes, consider using {{Pull quote}} which covers the width of the page.

Usage

Align quote box to the right:

{{Reduced pull quote|right|Quote text|Origin of quote|Cited source}}

Align quote box to the left:

{{Reduced pull quote|left|Quote text|Origin of quote|Cited source}}

Parameters

Alignment (left, right).
Quote text
Source (who said it?)
Citation (where was it said?)

Formatting

Quotation marks are supplied by the template and should not be included in the quote text. Soft hyphens () can be used to influence line breaks within the quote text.

Example

Align right →

Code

{{Reduced pull quote |right
| This is an example pull-quote with the first option set to ''right''.
|] |''Reduced pull quote template page''
}}
{{str left|{{Lorem ipsum}}|335}}

Result

“

This is an example pull-quote with the first option set to right.

Quotation templates

Template	Use / description
↓ Block quotations	General purpose
{{Blockquote}}	Our standard block quotation template: unbordered page-wide quotation with optional smaller-sized attribution
{{Break lines}}	Transforms line breaks into `<br />` tags. It is very similar to the {{poem}} template, except that it does not invoke the `<poem>` MediaWiki extension.
{{Numbered verses}}	Quote poems showing the verse numbers
{{Poem}}	{{Blockquote}} variant for use with poems, song lyrics, and other things that would otherwise require the use of `<poem>` tags or frequent formatting elements (such as `<br />`); requires substitution
{{Poem quote}}	{{Blockquote}} variant for use with poems, song lyrics, and other things that would otherwise require the use of `<poem>` tags or frequent formatting elements (such as `<br />`); does not require substitution
{{Poetically break lines}} (shortcut: {{pbl}})	Designed to format poetry simply and reliably; it differs from {{Poem quote}} in two significant ways: it does not add spacing around the poem that sets it apart as “block quote”, and it automatically provides hanging indentation when lines are so long that they wrap
{{Translated blockquote}}	Displays original language above and translated text below
{{Text and translation}}	Displays original language and translated text, one beside the other
{{Verse translation}}	Displays original language verse (defaults to italics) and translated verse (roman) side-by-side
{{Verse transliteration-translation}}	Like {{Verse translation}}, but with a transliteration separate from the original version
{{Quote inline}}(shortcut: {{qi}})	Inline quotation
{{Cquote}}	"centered quote" – Page-wide quote, between large quotation marks
{{Rquote}}	"reduced quote" – Quote between large quotation marks in a reduced floating area
{{Quote frame}}	Page-wide bordered quote
{{Quote box}}	Quote floated in a reduced bordered box
{{Tweet}}	For quoting directly from tweets. Automatically generates `{{Cite tweet}}` citation, or a custom reference can be provided.

↓ Talk page quoting	Not for use in articles nor the project space at all
{{Talk quote inline}}(shortcut: {{tq}},{{tqq}}, {{tqi}}, or {{tqqi}})	Inline quotation for use on talk pages
{{Not talk quote inline}}(shortcut: {{!tq}},{{!tqq}}, {{!tqi}}, or {{!tqqi}})	Inline quotation for what someone didn't say but could have, or perhaps should have, said.
{{Talk quote block}}(shortcut: {{tqb}}, {{tq2}})	Block-style quotation for use on talk pages
{{Talk quote block minimalist}}(shortcut: {{tqbm}})	Minimalist version of above

↓ Alternative	For indenting non-quotations
{{Block indent}}	To indent an entire block of content (uses `<div>` and CSS margins)
{{Divbox}}	To frame messages or the example output of an article or template
