Usage
[edit source]{{Vquote}} is a variant of the {{Rquote}} and {{Cquote}} quotation templates. Where Cquote passages are set to use 100% of of a page's width, and Rquote to 33%, Vquote allows the individual editor to set the percentage of the page width the quotation will occupy, similar to {{Quote_box}}. Rquote is intended for passages of 50 words or less, and Cquote for longer pull quotes. Vquote is intended to provide a middle ground between the two.
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.
For long quotations in the text, the Manual of Style recommends using the HTML <blockquote> element or the {{quote}} template (which produces the blockquote tag).
Parameters
[edit source]{{Vquote|alignment|width= |quote text|source|citation}}
- alignment
- left or right.
- width
- The width of the box, either a relative percentage of the screen such as 45%, or the user can set an absolute width such as 300px. If undefined, the template will assume 100%.
- quote text
- Text to be quoted, without quotation marks around it.
- Note: If the quote text contains one or more "=" (equal signs), then the quote text must resemble {{Vquote|1=quote text}} (see "Equals sign in parameter value")
- source
- Individual or other party responsible for the quotation.
- citation
- Information on where the quotation was published.

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.|

You see things vacationing on a motorcycle in a way that is completely different from any other.
In a car you're always in a compartment, and because you're used to it you don't realize that through
that car window everything you see is just more TV. You're a passive observer and it is all moving by
you boringly in a frame.|
