Template:Cquote/doc

Usage
Centered quote – for quotes, this template provides a centred, borderless quote, with scalable decorative quotation marks, and optional attribution of the source of the quote. It can be used with or without the names of the parameters.

Parameters

 * Parameter,  : text of the quote; use   around second or subsequent paragraphs.
 * Required
 * Note! if the quote text contains a   (equals sign), then the template must be called with a named parameter for the content. For example: .  (More info: (at En-Wp) ).

Deprecated:
 * : Name of the person that wrote or spoke the text being quoted, can include wiki syntax.
 * : Source of the quote (publication title, speech, etc.), can include wiki syntax. Can be used without   (e.g. for a scripture, law, or other source without an author per se)
 * : The colour of the background, this parameter is disabled in article space.
 * : Defaults to centre, but can also be right or left; usually used with  or so (otherwise for quotes longer than one line on the rendered page, the float will have no useful effect).  This parameter is disabled in article space.
 * : For example, this parameter is disabled in article space.
 * : Colour of quote-marks, for example  for a red colour (only for use in community portal, and personal pages; do not use in articles, guidelines, etc.).  This parameter is disabled in article space.
 * : Set to any non-blank value for quotes that should be rendered from right to left (e.g., Arabic); adds the necessary 'dir' attribute, and reverses the quotes. This parameter is disabled in article space.
 * : Set to 'center' to centre-align the quote text; this parameter is disabled in article space.
 * : In older versions of the template, when this was set to 'yes', the quote expanded to the entire width of the page, which was useful for long quotes; however, it clashed with other floating objects, such as infoboxes, and the template now auto expands and line wraps as needed (full page, or within a  constraint).  This parameter is disabled in article space.
