The term is principally used in journalism and publishing.<br /> <br /> Placement of a pull quote on a page may be defined in a publication's or [[website]]'s [[style guide]].<br /> <br /> Such a typographic device may or may not be aligned with a column on the page. Some designers, for example, choose not to align the quote. In that case, the quotation cuts into two or more columns, as in the example shown.<br /> <br /> Because the pull quote invites the reader to read about the highlighted material, the pull quote should appear before the text it cites and, generally, fairly close to it.<br /> <br /> Pull quotes need not be a verbatim copy of the text being quoted; depending on a publication's house style, pull quotes may be abbreviated for space and/or paraphrased for clarity, with or without indication.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> * [[Aside (HTML element)]]<br /> * [[Graphic design]]<br /> * [[Page layout]]<br /> * [[Typography]]<br /> * [[Web page layout]]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pull_quote Pull quote] @ Wikipedia<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Graphic design]]<br /> [[Category:Text]]<br /> [[Category:Typography]]</div>
