On the Teline Demo Page – there is a blue square
http://www.joomlart.com/templates_demo.php?template=ja_teline

It says

A Quotation

This is a sample Blockquote Highlight. Use to form a quote! More typo…

I have read the manual (see below)

Where do I put this? How do I make the blockquote? Which module?
Do I hardcode this into the page?

7. Typography

Beside the traditional typography since JA Pollux, JA Teline has been multiplied with 4 more typography styles:

• The New Blockquote (with open and close quote). Use <div class=”blockquote”><blockquote>Your quote goes here!</blockquote></div>
• The Hilight Blockquote. Use <div class=”quote-hilite”><blockquote>Your quote goes here!</blockquote></div>

I have also visited the Typography page as well – but that just shows the various types of Typography and is no help in how to create the BlockQuote

Thanks for help in advance

This is what I have done to sort of make it happen.

I went into Module Manager and created a new module called Quotes.

I placed the position of the module Quotes as LEFT.

I then went to the bottom of the module page to Custom Output

and entered the quote and link that I want there.

I went into the drop down STYLES and selected quote-hilite

… but this gives following HTML <span class=”quote-hilite”></span> which does not look right.
I have to manually change to
<div class=”quote-hilite”><blockquote>Your quote goes here!</blockquote></div>

It works – but is there a better way of doing this?

Hi z0z0,

A blockquote is a piece of text wich is placed between quotes. It is not a module-style. You can insert it in content on your website by switching your editor in non-wysiwyg-modus and put the text you want between quotes this way:

<blockquote>Your quote goes here!</blockquote>

Kind Regards,
Peter

Hi, I tried with <blockquote>Your quote goes here!</blockquote>

but in order to make it work I had to use this:

<blockquote><span class=”open”>Y</span>our quote goes her<span class=”close”>e!</span></blockquote>

It doesn’t look 100% correct on the JA frontpage module, but when click to read the artice it looks correct. Guess I just have to move the Quote further down in the article to avoid the frontpage problem 😉

For open end quote which is one quotation mark showing on the left
Use <blockquote>Your quote goes here!</blockquote>

For open and closed quotaion marks.
Use <div class=”blockquote”><blockquote>Your quote goes here!</blockquote></div>

For BLUE highlighted quotation box.
Use <div class=”quote-hilite”><blockquote>Your quote goes here!</blockquote></div>

Copy and Paste the orange text into your page..click HTML and insert the code where you need it. Come out of HTML and see how it looks.
Try all three code untill you get what you are after.

Note: These examples are taken from the Teline Demo section

Hope this helps 😉

Thanks! The html I used was taken from an sample article used in the democontent of the JA Teline II template. Will try to use your htm code in a new article and see how it works (I guess better than mine 🙂 )
