Template:Quotebox/quotes

Functional Yet Cumbersome

 * Would be messy to pass the configuration parameters into each &lt;option&gt;.  Every time a user adds a new quotation to a page, ze'd need to paste the quotations into the QUOTE and SOURCE areas:  |edit=
 * ep ref works well, though, as does everything else.
 * This section and the example immediately below are intended to test the &lt;choose&gt; tag for randomly selecting one of the listed quotations and displaying it in the quotebox.  It is not intended to demonstrate the format of the quotation, and there are actually several formatting variations of the same quotation in rotation here.

Side-by-Side Comparisons
The boxes here show a side-by-side comparison of two different potential formats for dialogue boxes, plus a third box with the decorative quotation marks hidden. Although the table version is fine at normal size and width, it is clearly inferior to the quote multi (which should probably be renamed to quote dialogue) when viewed as a sidebar or wall-of-text relief:
