{{Thousandfold}}

== Usage ==
{{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}} adds a [[block quotation]] to an article page.

This is easier to type and is more wiki-like than the equivalent [[HTML]] {{code|lang=html|code=<blockquote>...</blockquote>}} tags, and has additional pre-formatted attribution parameters for author and source (though these are not usually used in articles; {{crossreference|see {{section link||Reference citations}}, below}}).

'''Note:''' Block quotes do {{em|not}} normally contain quotation marks {{crossreference|(see [[MOS:BLOCKQUOTE]])}}.

{{warning|heading=This template is for actual quotations only.|text=Do not use it for block indentation of other material; see {{tlx|Block indent}} for that purpose.}}

|text=Quoted material.
