I’m looking at adding some different typography to my installs and the first I have tried is the pullquote.

I think it looks ok but not quite right so any suggestions would be good.

Here is the link to an article I am trying it in.

http://www.windsurf.me.uk/articles/locations-a-holidays/63-pidgeon-point-by-stuart-cockerill.html

Look for the bit that says “Tobago in February was a shock”.

The html that goes in the article is

<h4 class="pullquote">Tobago in February was a shock</h4>

and I added the following css to my typo.css file to generate it.


/*
* Pullquote class
*/

.pullquote {
padding: 10px;
float: right;
width: 200px;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-left: 20px;
border-top-width: 2px;
border-bottom-width: 2px;
border-top-style: solid;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-top-color: #694e1c;
border-bottom-color: #694e1c;
font-size: 16px;
text-align: center;
line-height: 36px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: normal;
}

I also have to tidy up that article as it was pulled from an old site. I have not yet removed the tables and replaced them by div’s but I will once I have the pullquote working well.

Cheers ShannonN,

I used that article just to test the concept of the pullquote as it is an old one that barely gets looked at so it I mess it up fiddling it was not a problem. I am in the process of writing a large article and would like to put a couple of quotes inset in the article. I first tried creating some inset classes but they didn’t work well with the inbuilt quote typography in this template hence the need to come up with something new.

I have dropped you a pm.
