*  <font color="red">'''NOTE''': This template should '''not be used''' for block quotations in article text.</font> For long quotations in the text, the [[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Quotations|Manual of Style]] recommends using the HTML &lt;[[blockquote]]> element or the {{tl|quote}} template (which produces the blockquote tag).
*  <font color="red">'''NOTE''': This template should '''not be used''' for quotations</font> if they are not repeated elsewhere in the main text. The [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Block quotations|Manual of Style]] recommendation is:
** For visually distinctive quotation, use {{tl|Quotation}} template.
** For long quotations, use the HTML &lt;[[blockquote]]&gt; element, such as through the use of the {{tl|Quote}} or {{tl|quote box}} template.
* Pull quotes work best when used with short sentences, and at the start or end of a section, as a hint of the section's content.
*'''{{tl|Rquote}}''' (for '''Reduced pull-quote''') is a variant of the {{tl|Cquote}} [[:Category:Quotation templates|quotation template]], intended for relatively short [[pull quote]]s of 50 or 100 words. It results in a floating quote with the article text wrapping around it, like an image.
* Pull-quotes work best when used with short quotes, and at the start or end of a section, to help emphasize the content of the section. For longer pull quotes, especially those more than a paragraph, or longer than the rest of the paragraph they are quoted in, a similar effect (across the page) can be produced by  [[:Template:Cquote|Cquote]].

{{TOCright}}
==Usage==
Align quote box to the '''right''':

 <nowiki>{{Rquote|right|Quote text|Origin of quote|Cited source}}</nowiki>

Align quote box to the '''left''':

 <nowiki>{{Rquote|left|Quote text|Origin of quote|Cited source}}</nowiki>

==Parameters==
# '''Alignment''' (''left'', ''right'').
# '''Quote text'''
# '''Source''' (who said it?)
# '''Citation''' (where was it said?)

==Formatting==
[[Quotation marks]] are supplied by the template and should not be included in the quote text. [[Soft hyphen]]s (<code>[[List of XML and HTML character entity references|&amp;shy;]]</code>) can be used to influence [[line break]]s within the quote text.
