Documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:PrettyQuote/doc. (view | edit | history)

A pretty way to display quotes.

Usage

The markup on the left produces the quote on the right:

"Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, and teachers."

(Richard Bach, Illusions)

theQuote - the text of the quote, no quotes and no formatting predefined

Themes

The theme parameter is the name of a theme defined in template {{Box-theme}}. Available themes are illustrated here.

To create a new theme edit template {{Box-theme}}. Last time I checked this template was protected (let me know if you want a new theme to be included or create a separate theme template).
