## Description

Better Blockquotes provides an way to easily add citations to quotes using the WordPress
editor. Simply click on the blockquote button, and a pop-up will provide fields 
for quote, citation and citation link. Developers can extend the plugin to support
various blockquote classes.

Contribute or submit bugs via [Github](https://github.com/devinsays/better-blockquotes).

## FAQ

  What does the blockquote markup look like?

  Why doesn’t my blockquote look good when displayed?

This plugin doesn’t add any styling for blockquotes. Contact the author of your 
theme to make sure they support blockquote markup.

  Blockquote Classes/Styles

Developers can optionally add style options to the pop-up. Any selected styles will
apply a class directly to the `<blockquote>` element.

    ```
    function prefix_blockquote_classes() {
        $options = array(
            'class-1' => __( 'Style One', 'better-blockquotes' ),
            'class-2' => __( 'Style Two', 'better-blockquotes' ),
        );
        return $options;
    }
    add_filter( 'betterblockquotes_classes', 'prefix_blockquote_classes' );
    ```

I too was about to add an enhancement request for Core to do just this, when I saw
that it had already been requested and this plugin was the result. It’s just as 
I imagined. I can only hope that, in time, this gets added to Core, especially as
it’s a similar premise to the inline link feature.

This plugin has been a godsend for client sites where we have a need to utilize 
the cite element in blockquotes. Without it, we’d have to train people to add the
proper markup in the Text pane. (And the training never stuck.) With this plugin,
the WordPress editor’s blockquote button works exactly the way we always wished 
it would.
