Usage

{{Centered pull quote}} is a template meant for pull quotes, the visually distinctive repetition of text that is already present in the same article. In most cases, this is not appropriate for use in encyclopedia articles.

NOTE: This template should not be used for quotations if they are not repeated elsewhere in the main text. The Manual of Style recommendation is:
- For visually distinctive quotation, use {{Quotation}} template.
- For long quotations, use the HTML <blockquote> element, such as through the use of the {{Quote}} or {{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.
For shorter pull quotes of 50 words or fewer in a similar style, consider using {{Rquote}} which sets the quote off to either the right or left as in a magazine sidebar. This can be effective on essay pages and WikiProject homepages.

Syntax

{{centered pull quote|quote text}}
{{centered pull quote|quote text|author=author or speaker}}
{{centered pull quote|quote text|author=author or speaker|source=title of article, speech, book, etc.}}

Parameters

Parameter 1: text of the quote; use <br /> between paragraphs.; Required; Note: if the quote text contains one or more "=" (equal signs), then the template must be called as {{centered pull quote|1=quote text}} (see "Equals sign in parameter value")
author: Name of the person that wrote or spoke the text being quoted. Can include wiki syntax.
source: Source of the quote (publication title, speech, etc.). Can include wiki syntax.
