Math Jeans said:The only thing is that when there is multiple quotes in the middle of text, it is harder to pick out what part is the quote and what isn't.
Poop-Loops said:Yeah, I agree. The novelty wore off really fast when I had to strain to see what is and what is not quoted.
I suggest putting the whole thing in a box, so it's easier to discern.

which hides the emphasis implied by italics in the original text.

octahedron said:For the purposes of this forum, I really don't think the new quote format works. Can we get to choose which to display (old or new) -- I thought I'd switch the themes to see if it's available on the other one but the listbox at the end of the page is no longer available.

Yea. It's a little had for us old folks to read.robphy said:Cool contrast...
...but is the forced italics necessary?
G01 said:Wow! I'm gone for a week and look what happens. Looks great, Greg!
Greg Bernhardt said:Anyone else?
I too prefer that quote boxes not be automatically italicized, so that actual italicized words will stand out as intended.Greg Bernhardt said:It is easy to fix. Anyone else?
One way to improve the appearance of quote boxes is to use a different font or formatting style to differentiate them from the rest of the text. Additionally, adding relevant images or diagrams can make the quote box more engaging.
It is important to only use quote boxes when the quoted text is essential to the understanding of the research or adds value to the overall message. Quote boxes should not be used for every quote, but rather for key points or important findings.
Yes, sources should be cited within the quote box using the appropriate citation style (e.g. APA, MLA). This helps to give credit to the original source and allows readers to easily find the referenced material.
No, quote boxes should only be used for direct quotes. Paraphrased information should be integrated into the text and cited accordingly.
To make quote boxes more accessible, it is important to use appropriate contrast between the text and background color. Additionally, providing alternative text for any images or diagrams within the quote box can help visually impaired readers understand the content.
