Blockquotes

Blockquotes are a nice way to show some commentary or slogan accompanied by the author or name of the commenter. To create a standard blockquote, use the [blockquote] shortcode. Inline quotations can also be defined by using the <q> element.

Blockquote example

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally

John Doe

[blockquote author="author_name"]
   your quote goes here
[/blockquote]

 

The [testimonial] shortcode adds an avatar and icon attribute to the native blockquote. avatar attribute shows an image of the author by specifying a url to the image. icon attribute is used to add a transparent icon that is positioned bottom left.

Testimonial example

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

John Doe

Head of Sales, envato

[testimonial author="author name" title="author's title" avatar="url-path-to-avatar" icon="icon"]
   your quote goes here
[/testimonial]

 

You can omit any of the parameters of testimonial (author, title) but not the 'avatar' parameter. If you'd like to use the testimonial without the avatar, use the blockquote shortcode instead

Inline code

To define a short inline computer code use the <code> element. For a larger code snippet use the <pre> element which defines preformatted text. It creates a new text block which preserves both spaces and line breaks.

pre {
    margin: 15px 0;
    padding: 10px;
    font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 12px;
    line-height: 18px;
    white-space: pre-wrap;
}
