{{quote| 1 | 2 | 3 |color=silver|size=360%}}
Notes
- The "color" and "size" parameters refer to the quotation marks—not the text.
- If you want to change the color and size variables, you must declare the parameter explicitly (i.e. you must include "color=" or "size=").
- If you want to change the size parameter, then you must include a unit of measurement (e.g. %, px, pt).
- "If a parameter value contains an equals sign, the parameter name must be declared explicitly." This means that if you want to include a URL in your quote, and if that URL contains an equals sign, then you must explicitly declare the parameter. All that means is that you should add "1=", "2=", or "3=", as appropriate, ahead of your quote text, speaker, or source, like this: {{quote|1=Quote text|2=Person|3=Source|color=silver|size=360%}}
{{Quote|1=Trigger warning|2=Tophia|3=URL with = sign|color=blue|size=500%}}
- Displays:
“ | Trigger warning | ” |
Tophia, URL with = sign |
