Template talk:Quote

Quote template update
Template:Quote/draft is a work in progress that will make the following improvements to the old 2006 design, especially in the area of accessibility.


 * Changes for desktop skin
 * Left clear to prevent disjointed wrapping around left floated elements (e.g. Advanced Idea Mechanics (Earth-616) at certain screen widths)
 * Em dash "&mdash;" instead of double hyphen "--" typography before cite line


 * Changes for mobile skin
 * Automatically generated links will work again, if template type is set to "Design" rather than "Quote"


 * Changes for assistive technologies (e.g. screen readers)
 * Spoken and navigated as the expected &lt;blockquote> rather than non-validating nested &lt;dl>s
 * Images with unhelpful alt text ("Quote one You can't break a man who's already been broken Quote two Bruce Banner") replaced with text quotation marks
 * Spoken expansion "source" available for abbreviation "src"

If the code and changes look good, I'd like to test the draft on a small number of live pages to see if everything's working properly. Rigel Kent (talk) 03:31, May 28, 2016 (UTC)
