Blockquote

Indicates the quotation of a large selection of text from another source.

import * as React from 'react';
import { Blockquote } from '@itwin/itwinui-react';

export default () => {
  return <Blockquote>This is a quote</Blockquote>;
};

Blockquotes are used to isolate and highlight a large quotation made by a source that is external from the content it is quoted in. Sourcing its provenance and original author is strongly suggested. The source is displayed in the bottom right of the blockquote.

Usage

If the citation was pulled from a website, you can provide the URL using the ‘cite’ tag for best practice purposes, but the blockquote does not provide a hyperlink to that location.

import * as React from 'react';
import { Blockquote } from '@itwin/itwinui-react';

export default () => {
  return (
    <Blockquote
      cite={'https://www.bentley.com/en'}
      footer={
        <>
          — Greg Bentley, <cite>NasdaqListed</cite>
        </>
      }
    >
