Template:Bquote/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Bquote (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This is meant to replace template Cquote with an HTML <blockquote> element, as recommended by WP:MOS#Quotations. It is 100% wikitext-compatible, so it should be possible to redirect cquote to this template.

  1. Quoted text [required]

  3. [anything; for compatibility only]
