Prose excerpts, quotes and verses share the same syntax structure, including:
|
|
|
|
* block name, either `quote` or `verse`
|
|
* name of who the content is attributed to
|
|
* bibliographical information of the book, speech, play, poem, etc., where the content was drawn from
|
|
* excerpt text
|
|
// end::intro[]
|
|
|
|
// tag::basic[]
|
|
For content that doesn't require the preservation of line breaks, set the `quote` attribute in the first position of the attribute list.
|
|
Next, set the attribution and relevant citation information.
|
|
However, these positional attributes are optional.
