Template:Cite Sm

This is a very basic Citation Template: formulated primarily as a second or successive citation of a given source.

It merely allows cites information to be formated as boilerplate, and repeatedly used.

It is particularly useful for citing a fiction work in an article about the book itself. It only has two named fields, author and q/quote.
The quotation field (parameter either q= or quote=) is the only field which is processed in any way, and external quotes or italics must be provided when and if desired. The only thing done to a quotation is to enclose it in small HTML tags.
Even spaces and commas must be provided in the boilerplate by the person applying the template.

This is by design when quoting an authors text which itself uses italics as emphasis, or when quoting a conversation, so that a lead in notation such as

[Gustavus Adolphus said] "Remember, Axel" [Oxensternia]. "I'm Vasa. Always Vasa!"
