in my last post, supposedly I added some DIV, and don’t know how to escape them to show them in text… diregard that portion.

Anyway, again, how would you use this class? Can you give an example?

Thanks

After adding this new class to the styles.css, how do you use it?

Is it Text to Magazine Quot ??

Hi Sadish,

I wanted a stylish blockquote which is like even bigger than the normal shown here.

I have been searching for a really big Blockquoting wordpress plugin and as of now haven’t found a great one.

I want the blockquote to have special importance within the wordpress blog posts and ‘may’ have a separate css style for it and ‘may’ be able to modify its background.

Do let me know if you have any such blockquote plugin.

By the way, I even require a good wordpress “Request A Quote NOW” or contact form plugin but haven’t found a friend in cforms which is not so user friendly and visitor friendly as well.

I had be glad to receive a positive response.

Thanks,
Ron.

I cannot seem to get this to work correctly. Can you take a peek and see where I may have gone wrong?

Warmest regards.

To Stephen.
Thanks for making it more clear for all of us. When I read your plugin page, it was not apparent to me that you are duplicating it into a blockquote element.

To All,
I would like to request you to refrain your comments to what is available on this website.

Thanks.

(I am the developer of the JavaScript Pull-Quotes plugin)

Sadish — actually, the Javascript Pull-Quotes plugin does not format the span, it takes the contents of the span and duplicates it in a blockquote or div element.

The fact that it only works with JavaScript was a conscious choice — I could have just as easily done it in PHP. The reason I feel this is a better way is that the duplicated text only will show up in graphical browsers, and not (for example) unformatted RSS feeds, text-only browsers, or screen readers.

Thanks for posting your comment Joshua.

Although the “pull quotes plugin” is trying to achieve a similar result, there is some difference in what we want to achieve.
In this post, I am trying to style a “blockquote” element to display in such a way, but the “pull quotes plugin” is trying to style a “span” differently using Javascript.
A blockquote is understood by any browser that understands HTML, but his pull quotes needs a javascript enabled browser.

I was just wondering the same thing, and I found the JavaScript Pull-Quotes plugin:

http://striderweb.com/nerdaphernalia/features/wp-javascript-pull-quotes/

It’s an elegant solution; it doesn’t include the extra blockquote in the markup (which would mean repetition of the same content), it adds it in dynamically using JavaScript. This means that feed readers and other non-browser use of content ignores it. You just have to put the text you want quoted into a span with a certain CSS class.
