Google Docs is a versatile word processing program that allows you to insert several types of graphics into your documents, including block quotes. Block quotes are useful for calling attention to particularly important passages in your document, or for quoting long sections of text from another source. You can format block quotes in Google Docs using the built-in formatting options, or by adding your own CSS styles.
To format a block quote in Google Docs, first select the text you want to format. Then, click the Format menu and select Block Quote.
You can also use the keyboard shortcut Shift + Alt + 5 to format text as a block quote.
Once you’ve selected the block quote option, the selected text will be indented and have a gray background.
If you want to change the way your block quote looks, you can click the “Change quote style” option at the bottom of the menu. This will open a sidebar with different block quote styles to choose from.
You can also add your own CSS styles to format block quotes in Google Docs. To do this, click the “More options” button at the bottom of the sidebar and select “Add your own styles.”
In the CSS editor that opens, you can add any CSS styles you want. For example, to change the color of the text in your block quote, you could add the following style:
blockquote { color: red; }
Once you’ve added your CSS styles, click the “Apply” button to see your changes.
Block quotes are a great way to call attention to important passages in your document, or to quote long sections of text from another source. With the built-in formatting options in Google Docs, or by adding your own CSS styles, you can easily format block quotes to match your document’s style.
