Usage

The first parameter takes the quote itself, the second the author, and the third the work being quoted. See {{quote}} for single quote marks.

Basic example

{{cquote|The ink of the learned is equal in merit to the blood of the martyrs.}}

gives the following result:

The ink of the learned is equal in merit to the blood of the martyrs.

Define the author and source

There are three automatic parameter that can be used with this template. The first parameter is the quotation, as seen in the example above. The 2nd and 3rd parameters define the author and source of the quote respectively.

{{cquote|The ink of the learned is equal in merit to the blood of the martyrs.|Louis de Bernières|Birds Without Wings}}

gives the following result:

The ink of the learned is equal in merit to the blood of the martyrs.

—Louis de Bernières, Birds Without Wings
