Blockquotes

Blockquotes are used to display quoted text or highlighted content, typically rendered with special formatting like indentation or background color.

Basic Blockquote

Use {{{#quote}}} syntax for quoted text:

{{{#quote
This is a quoted text block.
It can span multiple lines.
}}}

Styled Blockquotes

Apply styling to blockquotes using parameters:

{{{#quote #style="font-style:italic"
This is an italicized quoted text block.
}}}

{{{#quote #style="border-left: 4px solid #ccc; padding-left: 10px"
A quote with a left border.
}}}

Blockquotes with Formatting

Blockquotes can contain other SevenMark elements:

{{{#quote
This quote contains **bold text**, *italic text*, and even `code`.

It can also span multiple paragraphs and include other formatting.
}}}

Common Use Cases

Citations

{{{#quote
"The best way to predict the future is to invent it."

}}}

Nested Content

{{{#quote
Quoted text with a list:

{{{#list #1
[[First point in the quote]]
[[Second point in the quote]]
}}}

And a code example:

{{{#code #lang="rust"
fn example() {
    println!("Code inside a quote");
}
}}}
}}}

Styling Options

All standard parameters are supported:

• #style - Custom CSS styling
• #color - Text color
• #bg_color - Background color
• #size - Font size
• #opacity - Opacity level

Example:

{{{#quote #color="blue" #bg_color="#f0f8ff" #style="padding:15px"
A styled blockquote with custom colors and padding.
}}}

Technical Notes

• Blockquotes are block-level elements
• They can contain any other SevenMark elements
• The {{{#quote}}} container wraps all content until }}}
• Whitespace and line breaks are preserved within the blockquote
• Parameters are optional; basic quotes work without any parameters
