--- layout: docs title: Tailwind CSS Blockquote - Flowbite description: The blockquote component can be used to quote text content from an external source that can be used for testimonials, reviews, and quotes inside an article group: typography toc: true previous: Paragraphs previousLink: typography/paragraphs/ next: Images nextLink: typography/images/ --- Get started with a collection of blockquote components when quoting external sources such as quotes inside an article, user reviews, and testimonials based on multiple examples of layouts, styles, and contexts. The main `<blockquote>` HTML tag can be used together with the `<cite>` tag or attribute to also mention the source of the quote content. ## Default blockquote Use this example to quote an external source inside a blockquote element. {{< example github="typography/blockquote.md" show_dark=true >}} <blockquote class="text-xl italic font-semibold tracking-tight text-heading"> <p>"Flowbite is just awesome. It contains tons of predesigned pages starting from login screen to complex dashboard. Best choice for your SaaS application."</p> </blockquote> {{< /example >}} ## Solid background This example can be used as an alternative style to the default one by applying a solid background color. {{< example github="typography/blockquote.md" show_dark=true >}} <p class="text-body"> Does your user know how to exit out of screens? Can they follow your intended user journey and buy something from the site you’ve designed? By running a usability test, you’ll be able to see how users will interact with your design once it’s live. </p> <blockquote class="p-4 my-4 border-s-4 border-default bg-neutral-secondary-soft"> <p class="text-xl italic font-medium leading-relaxed text-heading">"Flowbite is just awesome. It contains tons of predesigned components and pages starting from login screen to complex dashboard. Perfect choice for your next SaaS application."</p> </blockquote> <p class="text-body"> First of all you need to understand how Flowbite works. This library is not another framework. Rather, it is a set of components based on Tailwind CSS that you can just copy-paste from the documentation. </p> {{< /example >}} ## Blockquote icon Use this example to show an icon above the blockquote text content. {{< example github="typography/blockquote.md" show_dark=true >}} <blockquote class="text-xl italic font-semibold text-heading tracking-tight"> <svg class="w-9 h-9 text-heading mb-4" aria-hidden="true" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path stroke="currentColor" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-width="2" d="M10 11V8a1 1 0 0 0-1-1H6a1 1 0 0 0-1 1v3a1 1 0 0 0 1 1h3a1 1 0 0 0 1-1Zm0 0v2a4 4 0 0 1-4 4H5m14-6V8a1 1 0 0 0-1-1h-3a1 1 0 0 0-1 1v3a1 1 0 0 0 1 1h3a1 1 0 0 0 1-1Zm0 0v2a4 4 0 0 1-4 4h-1"/></svg> <p>"Flowbite is just awesome.
