The blockquote plugin provides an environment for (semantically correct by using the blockquote XHTML tag) quotes. In contrast to the default wiki markup for quoting, the content of the quote can contain any wiki markup which then gets interpreted as it would outside of the quote environment. Thus, also nested quotes are possible.

In case you come across any bugs in this plugin, don't hesitate to report them.

The Darcs repository of the plugin can be found here.

  • 25 fixed, toolbar button works again. You will have to purge your cached javascript after upgrading by opening http://your.domain.com/path/to/dokuwiki/lib/exe/js.php?edit=1&write=1&purge=1 in your browser of choice.
• 2008/04/06:
  • Now produces valid XHTML again (blockquote output was placed inside paragraphs, those are now closed and reopened properly)
• 2008/02/13:
  • Security fix, please update ASAP
  • Fixed XSS vulnerabilities in both cite and blockquote commands, big thanks to the Oracle Corporation's Ethical Hacking Team for discovering this and giving me a heads up
• 2008/01/26:
  • When updating, please first delete the old installation of the plugin, otherwise not all components might be registered properly.
  • Added a toolbar icon as proposed by Tobias Deutsch.
  • Added syntax for adding a citation source (extension of the blockquote command as well as addition of a new cite command).

  • Initial release

The plugin provides two additional pairs of markup tags, the blockquote and the cite markup. The blockquote allows an additional citation source to be given after the blockquote keyword in the opening tag. The cite markup was mainly created to allow the addition of more complex citation sources (including links, text formatting etc) inside the blockquote environment, although it can also be used standalone. See the examples below.

The following code

<blockquote>
Test with loads of markup...

Another paragraph with a little [[http://nowhere|link]] to nowhere. Oh, and while we are at it, what about some **bold**, some //italic// and some __underlined__ text? And finally, an itemization:

  * item 1
    * item 1.1
    * item 1.2
  * item 2
    - ordered item 2.1
    - ordered item 2.2
      - ordered item 2.2.1
  * item 3

Works :-)
