Template cribbed from Blue Prism (well, I wrote it)

New page

<includeonly><blockquote style="border: 1px solid {{{bordercolor|#ccc}}}; padding: 0.5em; margin: 2em 0 0 1em; background-color: #f4f4f4; {{{style|}}}">
{{{text|{{{1}}}}}}
</blockquote></includeonly><noinclude>

==Usage==
Template for quoting a paragraph of text which highlights it slightly more than a standard blockquote.
There are 3 parameters : 'text' (the 'default' parameter), 'bordercolor' and 'style'. The first is the text to include in the quote, the second is the colour of the border to use (I know that's US spelling, but I'm so used to typing that in for code, I automatically type that spelling in anything approaching code). The colour can be any valid CSS value - eg. "red", "#fac", "#a8f93d" etc. You don't need to specify the name of the parameter for the text, you do for all other parameters (ie. 'bordercolor'). To implement your own style, you can specify an inline CSS style using the style parameter.
eg.
<nowiki>{{quote|There is no greater thing that a man can do for his country.. etc}}</nowiki>
''Gives''
{{quote|There is no greater thing that a man can do for his country.. etc}}

<nowiki>{{quote|text=When the going gets tough<br/>-- Billy Ocean|bordercolor=red}}</nowiki>
''Gives''
{{quote|text=When the going gets tough<br/>-- Billy Ocean|bordercolor=red}}

<nowiki>{{quote|text=
* Roses are red
* Violets are blue
* Wiki syntax is weird
** And uses too many braces

Have you tried setting it as the first test to be run?<br/>
