The [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Block quotations|Manual of Style guidelines for block quotations]] recommend formatting block quotations using the {{tlx|Quote}} template or the HTML <[[blockquote]]> element, for which that template provides a wrapper.
* Quotes work best when used with short sentences, and at the start or end of a section, as a hint of or to help emphasize the section's content.
* For typical quotes, especially those longer than the rest of the paragraph in which they are quoted, {{tlx|Cquote}} (for use outside of article space only) provides a borderless quote with decorative quotation marks, and {{tlx|Quote frame}} provides a bordered quote. Both span the page width.
* For very short quotes, {{tlx|Rquote}} (with decorative quotation marks, for use outside of article space only) or {{tlx|Quote box}} (framed) can be used to set the quote off to either the right or left as in a magazine [[Wikipedia:Sidebar (publishing)|sidebar]]. This can be effective on [[Wikipedia:WP:ESSAY|essay]] pages and [[Wikipedia:WP:WIKIPROJECT|WikiProject]] homepages.<noinclude>
