How to Add Quotes to Your Articles

Quotes are a great way to make your articles more immersive by showing how characters talk! Here's how to format them on World Anvil.

 

Quotes with the Visual Editor editor

If you're using the Visual Editor, follow these steps:

 
  1. Open the slash menu and look for "quote".
  2. Type the quote inside the newly-created panel.
This is how quotes will look in your articles!
 

Quotes with the Advanced Editor

With the Advanced Editor, use the [quote]...[/quote] tags, like in this example:

 
[quote]This is a quote!|Author[/quote]
This is a quote!
— Author
 

As you can see above, to add the author of the quote write their name after a | pipe character.

 

Quote limitations

Note that, because of the BBCode syntax of quotes work, an additional pipe | inside the quote will break it! This means that you can't use BBCode tags with optional parameters inside quotes. For example, you can include an image (such as [img:123]), but you can't include a right-aligned image (because the pipe in [img:123|right] would break the quote). This is only relevant if you use the Advanced Editor.
