Display quotations clearly with the Quote block

Use the Quote block to separate a source’s words from ordinary article text.

Type /quote in the editor and select the Quote block.

Enter the quotation accurately and avoid making it longer than necessary.

Add the speaker or source in the Citation field below the quotation.

If you translated or summarized the text, do not present it as a direct quote.

For emphasis on your own words, use a heading or bold text instead of a fabricated quotation.

Choose text and background colors that keep strong contrast and readability.

On mobile, check that quotation marks or borders do not overlap the text.

Place a link to the original source nearby so readers can verify it.

A good result makes the speaker and quotation boundary clear even without theme styling.
