It seems for small quotes, spaces appear to the right of the quote. Can somebody fix this? Danski14 00:06, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Someone redirected RQuote to Quotebox and now it is broken in all the pages that use it. This was probably not the smarted move. -- CGM1980 20:44, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
For users with less than 1024×768 resolution (e.g. 800×600), rquote boxes become too narrow, fitting only a couple of words on each line, and pushing excessively downward. It would be good if we could at the least add a min-width of 200 pixels or so, to prevent this problem. But frankly, the template should just in general have a fixed width, to avoid bad formatting on both wide and narrow displays. -- jacobolus (t) 21:25, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

It appears that leaving a blank line in markup between paragraphs doesn't result in the usual paragraph separation. Is this intentional?

I'm aware that this template was abused, in fact, I've removed uses of it in a number of places. I think I did use it correctly, as a pull quote in Kamie_Ethridge.
However, the visual appearance has changed. It used to be much larger font. Did something get changed when it was recently moved? I don't see any recent edits, other than the move. I'd like to restore the old functionality, or figure out how to fix the use in this article. S Philbrick (Talk) 17:24, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Greetings! The current example at Template:Reduced pull quote#Example does not quite answer on how to align the actual body of text to the left. One of the examples utilizes the following:
{{str left|{{Lorem ipsum}}|335}}
This is a template, however, specifically designed for this example. But how should one cope with normal text? Where to insert the text, let's say, in this example? Just inserting it in-between the curly braces doesn't yield with the desired outcome.
Thanks for paying attention! Cheers! Jayaguru-Shishya ( talk) 16:25, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Will somebody please fix this template by removing the large pastel quote marks. See talk page for Cquote template for explain (that template has been fixed). Herostratus ( talk) 22:17, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
On the page /info/en/?search=2020_China%E2%80%93India_skirmishes#Causes there are no quotation marks around the quote. I tried three different browsers, with login and without, and all show it the same way without quotation marks. This is a bug, since the template documentation says "Quotation marks are supplied by the template and should not be included here." It's a problem, since it's very important to put quotation marks around quotes to distinguish their contents from facts.
A copy of the quote is supplied here (likely shown to the right):
“ | China has illegally occupied Aksai Chin in Ladakh | ” |
— Rajnath Singh, November 2014, [1] the then Home Minister of India, the Defence Minister during the 2020 skirmishes |
This also illustrates the importance of the quotation marks, as the quoted text is likely not considered a fact by everybody.
Note that here on the talk page, there are quotation marks. So there is something going on that turns off the quotation marks on the /info/en/?search=2020_China%E2%80%93India_skirmishes#Causes page. I don't know what it is, or whether it's related to the page or this template, or a combination.

Number one, somebody added a blue line to the left of the quote. I believe this was added on May 6 2020 by User:Izno. The edit summary was "per tper" whatever that means. There was clear consensus to remove decoration for the template and make it identical to the HTML blockquote tag. Unless there's a different discussion you can point to. Objectively, I don't like and previous discussion have show only a tepid approval of the line option.
Number two, could you fix the documentation which has the long-deprecated quote marks. It's wrong and misleading. That part I could do, but prefer not to mess with template elements at all. Thanks. Also both of the above may apply to {{ Cquote}} also. Herostratus ( talk) 15:45, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

The example given at the top of the page still shows the large pastel quote marks. They are wrong and misleading and need to be removed (and the odious, but correct, pastel line on the left put in).
Pretty sure what is happening here is: the decision was to keep the large pastel quotes if this template is used outside mainspace. Thus the large pastel quotes can still be used in the Signpost, and as desired by editors in essays, rules, etc.
Well but of course this template page is not in mainspace, so the large pastel quotes will (misleadingly) show in the example (and the pastel line on the left apparently won't). Interesting conundrum, but I'm sure you can fix it. I mean you could just add demospace=main I guess. That would remove the large pastel quotes from all instances of the template. But I actually don't think anybody would care. The Signpost people might, if they use it. Just make a new template for them or something. But of course I leave the details to you guys.
As is usually true, this applies to {{ Cquote}} also. Herostratus ( talk) 21:50, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
