How to Use the Quote Formatter
Type or paste the text you want to quote, then choose a formatting mode. Markdown Blockquote prefixes every line with > for use in Markdown files, chat apps, and forums that support it. Smart / Curly Quotes wraps the whole text in proper curly quotation marks. Attribution Format wraps the text in straight quotes and appends an attribution line in the classic "Quote text." — Author Name style.
Example
Entering The only way to do great work is to love what you do with Attribution Format and an author of Steve Jobs produces: "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." — Steve Jobs.
Common Use Cases
- Formatting a quoted reply as a Markdown blockquote in a GitHub issue, README, or forum post.
- Converting straight quotation marks into proper curly quotes for a polished document.
- Adding a clean attribution line under a quote for a slide, social media graphic, or blog post.
FAQs
- Does Markdown Blockquote work on multi-line text? Yes — every line, including blank lines, gets its own
>prefix, which is the standard way to blockquote a multi-line passage in Markdown. - What if I leave the author name blank in Attribution Format? The output falls back to "Unknown" as the attribution so the format stays consistent even without a specified author.
- Does Smart / Curly Quotes convert quotation marks inside the text too? No — it only wraps the entire block of text in a single pair of curly quotes; any straight quotes already inside your text are left as typed.
