Template:Vquote

Usage

{{Vquote}} is a variant of the {{Cquote}} quotation templates. Where Cquote passages are set to use 100% of a page's width, Vquote allows the individual editor to set the percentage of the page width the quotation will occupy.

With the freedom to size the quotation, the editor takes responsibility for the aesthetics of the contribution. For instance, rather than setting Vquote at 50% or above, a page would probably be more readable using Cquote.

Parameters

Parameters enclosed in [brackets] are optional:

{{Vquote
| alignment
| quote
| [source]
| [citation]
| [width = width]
}}

1

left or right. Default is right.

2

Text to be quoted, without quotation marks around it.  Note: Escape = with {{=}} e.g. enter E = mc² as E {{=}} mc².

3

(Optional) Individual or other party responsible for the quotation.

4

(Optional) Information on where the quotation was published.

width

(Optional) The width of the box, either a relative percentage of the screen such as 45%, or an absolute width such as 300px. Default is 50%.

| Yet there are moments when the walls of the mind grow thin; when nothing is unabsorbed, and I could fancy that we might blow so vast a bubble that the sun might set and rise in it and we might take the blue of midday and the black of midnight and be cast off and escape from here and now.
