What it does

Adds border-accent blockquote styling with muted footer attribution.

Children are grouped with relaxed spacing.

Composition and API

Tone adjusts text color consistently with other typography primitives.

Prefer short excerpts over entire articles.

Common use cases

  • Docs quoting specifications.
  • Marketing quotes with author lines.
  • Changelog callouts referencing sources.
  • Support macros referencing policies.

Accessibility

Blockquote communicates quotation semantics.

Pair attribution with readable contrast.

Next.js integration notes

Quotes can render statically from MDX or CMS payloads.

Validate escaping when piping HTML strings.

FAQ

Does attribution support URLs?

Pass readable attribution text; link out via children if you need anchors alongside the quote.

Can I embed headings inside quotes?

Children accept arbitrary rich content; mind heading order relative to the surrounding page.

Is cite separate from HTML cite URLs?

Attribution renders a cite element with display text; native cite URL attributes remain available via props if needed.
