Template:Wp/brh/Quote box/doc
Usage
[edit source]The {{Wp/brh/Quote box}} template allows you to easily put a quote (and its source) inside a box, with flexible control over bordering, background color, alignment, and other features. The box itself is floating div, which (like images) can appear on the right or left or across the entire page. Article text will wrap around the div in the first two cases. This is useful in articles which are short on images and need some graphic-like element, or where an important or interesting quote wants to be presented in a way that sets it off from the surrounding text.
Caution: this is a div-based template, and may break if indented using wikitext syntax. This is a current limitation of the wikipedia HTML parsing software.
