[edit] Examples

{{cquote2|quote text}}

As Amy Tan once said:

“

External success has to do with people who may see me as a model, or an example, or a representative. As much as I may dislike or want to reject that responsibility, this is something that comes with public success. It's important to give others a sense of hope that it is possible and you can come from really different places in the world and find your own place in the world that's unique for yourself.

”

{{cquote2|quotetext=You have...|personquoted=[[Police officer]]|quotesource=''[[Miranda rights]]''|quotewidth=40px|quoteheight=40px}}

“	You have the right to remain silent. If you give up that right, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney and to have an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided to you at no cost. During any questioning, you may decide at any time to exercise these rights, not answer any questions, or make any statements.	”
	— Police officer, Miranda rights

{{cquote2|And when...|[[Pink Floyd]]|''[[The Wall]]''|30px|30px}}

“	And when they've given you their all / Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy / Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall.	”
	— Pink Floyd, The Wall

[edit] Proposed changes

• Remove all named parameters. These are aliases that make maintenance of calls harder. Aliases are an obstacle for future migrations.
• Take the value of param 4 as a default for param 5. Thanks to that, if only one px value is given, it is interpreted as the size for both the width and the height of the marks.

[edit] Difference

What's the difference between this and Cquote1? 24.126.199.129 15:21, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

It appears the only difference is the order of the parameters. for cquote2, the order is text, name1, name2, px1, px2 while for cquote (which I think you call cquote1) the parameters are text, px1, px2, name1, name2. I hope this helps --Hari Singh 12:22, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {{fact}}

Works with this template, using a named param for the quote text. It didn't work in {{cquote}}. --kingboyk 13:24, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Odd Behavior

I could be completely crazy, but it appears I had to reverse parameters 2,3 with 4,5. See Swag for example. As soon as I noticed the discrepency I stopped editing and saved. Am I overlooking something obvious? /Blaxthos 21:43, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
