Editing Template:Talk quote block/doc (section)

=== Quoting lists ===
If the text you are quoting is a bulleted or numbered list, the first list item must start on a new line, or it won't be rendered properly. For example:
{| class="wikitable"
! Wiki-markup !! Output
|-
| '''Wrong way'''
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{talk quote block|* Item one
* Item two
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
| First item isn't bulleted correctly:
<div style="background-color: var(--background-color-base, #f8f9fa); color: inherit; border:1px dashed #3170ab; padding:3px 10px 3px 10px">
{{talk quote block|* Item one
* Item two
}}
</div>
|-
| '''Right way'''
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{talk quote block|
* Item one
* Item two
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
| All items are bulleted correctly:
<div style="background-color: var(--background-color-base, #f8f9fa); color: inherit; border:1px dashed #3170ab; padding:3px 10px 3px 10px">
{{talk quote block|
* Item one
* Item two
}}
</div>
|}

If you are using the {{para|text}} named parameter (as opposed to simply supplying your list as the first parameter) please add the following code: <code>&lt;nowiki /&gt;</code> after the <code>=</code> sign. The reason is that the MediaWiki parser automatically removes line breaks at the start of the text, causing the list to be displayed improperly otherwise. Example:
{| class="wikitable"
! Wiki-markup !! Output
|-
| '''Wrong way'''
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{talk quote block|text=
# Item one
# Item two
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
| First item isn't numbered correctly:
<div style="background-color: var(--background-color-base, #f8f9fa); color: inherit; border:1px dashed #3170ab; padding:3px 10px 3px 10px">
{{talk quote block|text=
# Item one
# Item two
}}
</div>
|-
| '''Right way'''
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{talk quote block|text=&lt;nowiki /&gt;
# Item one
# Item two
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
| All items are numbered correctly:
<div style="background-color: var(--background-color-base, #f8f9fa); color: inherit; border:1px dashed #3170ab; padding:3px 10px 3px 10px">
{{talk quote block|text=<nowiki />
# Item one
# Item two
}}
</div>
