Quote

A quotation set off from the text, with an optional author and source.

Writing a quotation

Insert a Quote block and type the quoted text. It accepts the same formatting as a paragraph: bold, italic, formulas, footnotes, cross-references and citations.

Turning a paragraph into a quote with the / menu keeps its text and its formatting.

Author and source

Hover or select the quotation and click Add an author or a source. Two fields appear under the text:

• Author — who is quoted;
• Source — the book, article or talk it comes from.

Both are optional. Texifine sets them the same way every time: an em dash, the author, a comma, then the source in italics, aligned to the right.

Each field holds up to 200 characters.

What it cannot do

• The attribution's format is fixed. No other dash, order or style.
• The quoted text is upright, as LaTeX sets it. Use the italic format yourself if you want it in italics.
• No formatting inside the author or the source: they are plain text.
• No quotation marks are added. Type them if you want them.
• A quote cannot be placed inside a theorem. It can be placed in a column.
• An empty quotation prints nothing, even if an author is filled in.

For a proper bibliographic reference, cite the source instead: see Citing sources.

What it prints
