Everything below is the real element, configured in Breakdance. Try it with your keyboard, zoom in, or open the page on your phone.
Variant 1
Large quote with icon above
A semantic blockquote with the author as a caption. The quote icon is decorative and hidden from screen readers.
Accessibility is not a feature you add at the end. It is the way you build from the first element.Mirko Schubert, developer of Breakdance Extended
Variant 2
Inline icon, centered
The icon sits inline with the text, everything is centered. Typography comes from the global presets of this site.
If a website needs a cookie banner for its map, the map is the problem.Sample quote for this demo
Variant 3
Pull quote with a side border
No icon, a colored border on the start side and a subtle background. Useful inside long articles.
