ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು:Poemquote/doc

A template for quoting poems, song lyrics, and other things that have frequent line breaks and other things that would generally be ignored in standard Wiki formatting. Based on {{Quote}}; see there for further usage details.

Example

{{poemquote
|text=<!-- or: 1= -->Wikipedia
One encyclopedia
For all to edit
|char=unnamed voice in author's head
|sign= {{U|Davidwr}}
|source=<!-- or 4= -->[[User:Davidwr/WikiHaiku20160820]]
|title=<!-- or: 3= -->"A Wikipedia Haiku"
|style=<!-- standard CSS style goes here -->
}}

renders as

Wikipedia
One encyclopedia
For all to edit

— unnamed voice in author's head, in Davidwr, "A Wikipedia Haiku", User:Davidwr/WikiHaiku20160820

Note that while the version above using Template:quote may appear to work in some browsers, the caution in Template:quote/doc should be heeded:

Use <poem>...</poem> around material, such as poems and interlinear glosses, that require that whitespace formatting be preserve as in the original. Due to limitations of how MediaWiki parses wikimarkup and HTML, attempts to do this by just inserting blank lines and extra spaces will not work. This is true of all block elements, not just block quotations.

Note that Template:Poemquote uses the Tag:#poem markup rather than using <poem>...</poem>. It works though.
