Correct but the article would have been a better read if the author didn't put the exact same words he used in the article in the quote and than place the quote behind the original text.
- stan_rogers 14y agoIf you don't quote, it's not a pull quote, it's a heading or an aside. The example given is a bit of a miss, yes, because the same words appear quoted immediately; normally you'd pull something a little deeper in the text (like from the middle of a paragraph).
- eli 14y agoThat's not quite right. A pull quote can also simply refer to an excerpt "pulled" out of the article text. Google it.
- stan_rogers 14y agoI did mention that the pull quote quotes (excerpts) the main article; that's what makes it different from a block quote. Though there may be ellipses, a summary is not a pull quote.
