Quote

Quotes are used to stylise information and set them apart from plain text.

Breakdown

Quote (Default)

The default block quote uses text only. A combination of lead and paragraph formatting to create hierarchy of information.

Quote (Display)

The secondary block quote is used when there is less plain text to show and requires an image to support the quote itself. The image can be hidden when there is no need for it.

Usage

A default quote is used to side alongside standard paragraph text to highlight a supporting quote from a user.

A display quote is used sparingly to showcase a quote of relevance to the user. It can be used with or without a supporting image. This image should if possible be of the author of the quote.
