Blockquote

Processor name: blockquote

You can include an blockquote using the following text tag:

{blockquote}

This text is the blockquote's contents.

This is the second line.

{blockquote end}

Optional Tag Parameters

  • footer - Boolean flag to indicate whether the blockquote contains a footer.

    • If given as true, then the last line should start with a dash (-) followed by a space to show it’s the footer.

  • source - Sets the cite parameter of the blockquote element.

  • alignment - Valid values are ‘left’, ‘center’, or ‘right’. Providing one of these values Will add CSS classes to the image for alignment.

The default HTML for a panel is:

<blockquote class="blockquote{% if alignment == 'left' %} text-left{% elif alignment =='center' %} text-center{% elif alignment =='right' %} text-right{% endif %}"
{%- if source %} cite="{{ source }}"{% endif %}>
{% autoescape false -%}
{{ content }}
{%- endautoescape -%}
{% if footer %}
<footer class="blockquote-footer">
{{ footer }}
</footer>
{% endif %}
</blockquote>

Using the following example tag:

{blockquote}

This text is the blockquote's contents.

This is the second line.

{blockquote end}

The resulting HTML would be:

<blockquote class="blockquote">
<p>This text is the blockquote's contents.</p>
<p>This is the second line.</p>
</blockquote>

  • {{ content }} - The text enclosed by the blockquote tags.
  • {{ footer }} - The provided footer text.
  • {{ alignment }} - The location to add extra CSS classes for alignment.
  • {{ source }} - The URL for the source.

For example, providing the following HTML:

<blockquote class="blockquote grey-text{% if alignment == 'left' %} float-left{% elif alignment =='center' %} float-center{% elif alignment =='right' %} float-right{% endif %}"
{%- if source %} cite="{{ source }}"{% endif %}>
{% autoescape false -%}
{{ content }}
{%- endautoescape -%}
{% if footer %}
<footer class="blockquote-footer">
{{ footer }}
</footer>
{% endif %}
</blockquote>

with the following tag:

{blockquote alignment="right"}

Blockquote contents.

<blockquote class="blockquote grey-text float-right">
<p>Blockquote contents.</p>
</blockquote>
