Template:Epigraph

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

{{{quote}}}

—{{{cite}}}

[edit] Usage

This template is for epigraphs or pull quotes meant to stand out, not for regular long quotations. The difference with {{Quote}} is that the attribution has the same text size as the quote (instead of being slightly smaller).

The quote parameter is required. The cite parameter is optional. Cut-’n’-paste:

 {{epigraph
 | quote =
 | cite =
 }}

[edit] Examples

From "T-26".

 {{epigraph
 | quote = The tank of the Spanish Civil War: T-26B
 | cite = Lucas Molina Franco
 }}

Result

The tank of the Spanish Civil War: T-26B

—Lucas Molina Franco

With a note

 {{epigraph
 | quote = The greatest caution must be used in deducing general lessons from this war: a little adroitness and it will be possible to use it to “prove” any preconceived theory
 | cite = Anonymous British attaché to the Spanish Republic<ref>Zaloga, [http://libraryautomation.com/nymas/soviet_tank_operations_in_the_sp.htm"Soviet Tank Operations"]</ref>
