# Quote

A pulled quotation ruled off by a groove cut down its left edge, the source printed small beneath. No quotation marks drawn large, no italic.

## A quote and its source

We read production from the door now. Green is serving, and that is all anyone needs to know at nine in the morning.

Mara Voss, platform lead at Northwind

```
<figure class="tui-quote">
  <blockquote><p>We read production from the door now…</p></blockquote>
  <figcaption>Mara Voss, platform lead at Northwind</figcaption>
</figure>
```

The `figure` keeps the quote and its source together; the `blockquote` tells a screen reader it is quoted. Inside [Prose](https://tactileui.dev/docs/foundations/prose) a plain `blockquote` with a `footer` gets the same look.

## Rules

- Only words someone said or wrote. Never a slogan set as if it were quoted.
- The source in plain words: a name, then what they do.

## The full law

This page is a summary in plain words. The brain holds the law itself, in `printing.md`, written for an agent to follow. It ships with the Kit.
