Greetings, Rock Raider!
Chief, in one of his many mission briefings

Usage instructions

This template displays a block quotation. In the Tweeki skin that the RRU Knowledge Base uses, block quotations display larger and more pronounced than on wikis like Wikipedia that use the standard Vector/Monobook skins, so be careful with placement of this template.

Example usage

Basic use:

{{quote|text=Quoted material.}}

Quoted material.
With author and source attribution displayed:

{{quote|text=Quoted material.|author=Author name|source=Source Title (date)}}

Quoted material.
—Author name, Source Title (date)

We should probably upgrade to the more advanced quote template used on Wikipedia eventually... For now, however, you'll have to make sure you format the source correctly yourself.
