title: Block Quotes in WikiText
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki
There are two ways to produce HTML block quotes in TiddlyWiki5, one for content spread across multiple lines, and one for single line content.
! Multi-line Block Quotes
The syntax for multi-line block quotes (<<.icon $:/core/images/quote>>) is:
<<wikitext-example src:"<<<
This is a block quoted paragraph
written in English
<<<
">>
!! Citation
A citation can be added to the quote like this:
<<wikitext-example src:"<<<
Computers are like a bicycle for our minds
<<< Steve Jobs
">>
!! CSS Classes
CSS classes can be added to a block quote:
<<wikitext-example src:"<<<.myClass.another-class
Operating systems are like a brick wall for our minds
<<< Nobody
">>
The core includes the class `tc-big-quote` that renders block quotes with outsize double quotes:
<<wikitext-example src:"<<<.tc-big-quote
A dramatic quote
<<< Somebody Important
">>
! Single-line Block Quotes
The single-line syntax for block quotes is actually an extension of the syntax for [[Lists in WikiText]]. For example:
<<wikitext-example src:"> Quoted text
> Another line of quoted text
">>
You can also nest quotes like this:
```
> A top quote
>> A subquote
> Another top quote
```
Which renders as:
> A top quote
>> A subquote
> Another top quote
You can also mix block quotes with other list items. For example:
<<wikitext-example src:"* List One
** List Two
**> A quote
**> Another quote
* List Three
">>
