'''Note:''' {{NOTE}} You see that the quoted text is nicely bracketed with large quotation marks and the author's name is shown below in capitals. This formatting is done in the template and identical for all usages of this template in all articles. (Therefore we always recommend using templates.)
updated examples with lowercase parameters
Here is a simple example for how to use it:
<pre>{{Citation |Texttext=This is a short quote of a wonderful sentence read somewhere in some book. |Authorauthor=John Doe}}</pre>
{{Citation |Texttext=This is a short quote of a wonderful sentence read somewhere in some book. |Authorauthor=John Doe}}
=== Template (advanced) ===
A more complex example:
<pre>{{Citation
|Titletitle=What a quotation! |Texttext=This is a short quote of a wonderful sentence read somewhere in some book. |Authorauthor=John Doe |Sourcesource=Reader's Digest vol. 42
|ref=<ref>[http://www.somedomain.com Some website]</ref>
}}</pre>
{{Citation
|Titletitle=What a quotation! |Texttext=This is a short quote of a wonderful sentence read somewhere in some book. |Authorauthor=John Doe |Sourcesource=Reader's Digest vol. 42
|ref=<ref>[http://www.somedomain.com Some website]</ref>
}}
Here is a most complex example which also shows that templates can be used in templates:
<pre>{{Citation
|Titletitle=What a quotation! |Texttext=Dies ist ein kurzes Zitat eines wundervollen Satzes, irgendwo in einem Buch gelesen.
You can of course use Wiki ''formatting'' elements in the quotation. '''Empty lines''' will be formatted as the beginning of a new paragraph.
|Authorauthor=John Doe |Sourcesource=Reader's Digest vol. 42
|lang=German
|before=>>
|after=<<
|Transcriptiontranscription=[Use this when the original quote is in a non-latin language like Hebrew, Chinese, etc.] |Translationtranslation=This is a short quote of a wonderful sentence read somewhere in some book. |comment=Did you know that you can even comment a citation?
|ref=<ref>{{REFbook
|last=Doe
