[edit] Usage

This is a template for attributed block quotations. The difference from {{Quote}} is that the {{epigraph}} attribution has the same text size as the quote (instead of being slightly smaller).

The quote parameter is required. The cite parameter is optional. Cut-’n’-paste:

{{epigraph
| quote=
| cite=
}}

[edit] Examples

From "T-26".

{{epigraph
| quote= The tank of the Spanish Civil War: T-26B
| cite= Lucas Molina Franco
}}

Result

The tank of the Spanish Civil War: T-26B

—Lucas Molina Franco

With a note

{{epigraph
| quote= The greatest caution must be used in deducing general lessons from this war: a little adroitness and it will be possible to use it to “prove” any preconceived theory.
| cite= Anonymous British attaché to the Spanish Republic<ref>Zaloga, [http://libraryautomation.com/nymas/soviet_tank_operations_in_the_sp.htm"Soviet Tank Operations"]</ref>
}}
