Optional Title
Insert awesome quote here.
--source
This is Quotebox, as stolen shamelessly from Wikipedia's "Quote box" template. This is different from Template:Pullquote in that it is intended to appear alongside the main article text. That means this is actually a pull quote, whereas Pullquote does not support wrapping text around itself and thus is not a pull quote. Oops.
However, Quotebox also uses a more "tasteful" and low-footprint style than traditional pull quotes, whereas Pullquote uses the traditional appearance of actual pull quotes. (Confused yet?) Quotebox is also a far more versatile and less finicky quotation template.
Basic parameters
- title = Optional title to appear at the top of the quote box.
- quote = The quote or text to be displayed in the box.
- source = Optional source of the quote (author, publication, etc.).
Main box styling
- align: Alignment of the quote box on the page—left / right / center / none. Defaults to right alignment. Using align=none will remove word wrapping.
- width: The width of the quote box. Defaults to the width of the quote included, unless "|align=center" is used, in which case the width will default to 100%.
- border: The width of the quote box border. Defaults to 1px. Remember to include 'px' or 'em' to specify the correct width.
- fontsize: The fontsize of the quote box text. Defaults to 88%.
- bgcolor: The RGB background color of the box. Defaults to #F9F9F9 (light gray).
- style: A generic CSS style parameter. Entries in this parameter supersede any duplicates in the preceding parameters.
Title styling
- title_bg: The RGB background color of the title. Defaults to #F9F9F9 (light gray).
- title_fnt: The title font color. Defaults to black.
- tstyle: A generic CSS style parameter. Entries in this parameter supersede any duplicates in the preceding title parameters.
Quote styling

- qstyle: A generic CSS style parameter. Entries in this parameter supersede any duplicates in the preceding quote parameters.
