The Template:Tl formats block quotations and provides a wrapper with decorative marks for the HTML <blockquote> element.
This template should not be used for block quotations in article text. Quotes work best when used with short sentences, and at the start or end of a section, as a hint of or to help emphasize the section’s content.
Contents
Usage
Template:Tlc adds a block quotation to an article page. This is easier to type and is more wiki‐like than the equivalent HTML <blockquote>…</blockquote> tags, and has additional pre‐formatted attribution parameters for author and source.
- Block quotes do not normally contain quotation marks.
Parameters
|1=or|quote=- The material being quoted, without quotation marks around it.
|2=or|source=- Optional speaker or source information to display that will appear below the quotation, and preceded with an attribution dash.

Limitations
If you do not provide text, the template generates a parser error message, which will appear in red text in the rendered page.
If any parameter’s actual value contains an equals sign “=”, you must use a named parameter (e.g. |text=“E=MC2” is a formula everyone knows but few understand, not a blank‐name positional parameter. The text before the equals sign gets misinterpreted as a named parameter otherwise. Be wary of URLs, which frequently contain this character. Named parameters are always safer, in this and other templates.
