[edit] Usage

{{Quote}} adds a block quote to an article page.

This is easier to type and more wiki-like than the equivalent HTML <blockquote> tags, has additional pre-formatted attribution and source parameters, and contains a workaround for Bugzilla:6200, which means you don't need to type <p> tags manually.

Note: Block quotes do not normally contain quotation marks. See Formatting block quotations.

[edit] Syntax

{{Quote|Phrase}} produces:

Phrase

{{Quote|Phrase|Somebody|''Source''}} produces:

—Somebody, Source
