Spring Manual
Working with block quotes
Applying block-quote formatting
Place the cursor into the paragraph of text that you want to be a block-quote, or alternatively select multiple paragraphs for a long quotation. In the editing tools select the block-quote icon which is located at the end of the middle row of tools.
Text that has previously been formatted using the block-quote tool can be identified quickly in the SpringCMS as it will have a dotted yellow line around the text block with a yellow "blockquote" label.
Removing block quote formatting
To remove a block quote place the cursor into the text block and click the blockquote tool to de-select. Clicking the blockquote tool should toggle the formatting on and off.
Inserting text after, or between two block quotes
- Insert the cursor at the end of the last line of text in the existing block quote.
- Press the return / enter key on your keyboard to take your cursor to a new line
- Click on the blockquote icon in the editing tool bar - this will toggle the block-quote formatting on and off.
- Your cursor should now be on a new line outside of the previous yellow block-quote indicator.
- Enter your new text
- If required you can now apply block-quote formatting to the new paragraph which should be independent of block-quotes above and/or below.
