BlockQuote – Once UI

Use BlockQuote to present quoted text with emphasis and proper semantics. It renders a semantic <blockquote> element and forwards all layout and style props from Flex.

BlockQuote

“If you’re going to take this path, find your people.”
Building is lonely if you do it alone.

  }}
  subline="Building is lonely if you do it alone.">
  “If you’re going to take this path, find your people.”
</BlockQuote>

That’s when we realized the deeper problem.
“So much of the industry has shifted from solving real problems to selling shortcuts.”

Link

Attach a citation source using the link attribute. This is useful for accessibility and provenance.

<BlockQuote

  }}>
    “No single piece guarantees success, but together, they create inevitability. Over time, people start recognizing your name, your style, your values, and your products. That recognition compounds.”
</BlockQuote>

Separators

Adjust the visibility of the separator lines by setting top, bottom or none to the separator prop.

Separator

“We weren’t interested in selling visions that fall apart the moment someone buys in. We wanted to build products that last.”

<BlockQuote separator="top">
  “We weren’t interested in selling visions that fall apart the moment someone buys in. We wanted to build products that last.”
</BlockQuote>

Alignment

Adjust the alignment of the quote text by setting align to left, center or right.

Alignment

Styling

BlockQuote ships with a default look, but you can override appearance using any Flex styling props.

Accessibility Considerations

BlockQuote renders a semantic <blockquote> element to convey quoted content to assistive technologies. Provide a link URL when available to reference the source. Ensure sufficient color contrast if you override the default background or onBackground props.
