    The quoteblock will automatically adjust its height depending on its contents. The width is fixed but you can easily adjust it by tweaking the width property in the code.

    This quotebox has fewer contents. See how the height changes automatically.

You can still format the text inside the quotebox, add colors, change font size, style, etc.

Red, Blue, Green...
Arial, Times, Helvetica...
Size 12, Size 14, Size 16...
Normal, Bold, Italic, Underline...

    The alignment of the quoteblock can also be adjusted by simply modifying the HTML code of the quoteblock into this <quoteblock style="float: direction"></quoteblock> wherein the direction would be either left or right.

    This quotebox is aligned right...

Note: Your Template might have included a default style for your quotebox. Simply delete the code you've added to revert it to your Template's preferences. Replace the code you've added with the new code for other designs that you want to use in order to prevent conflicts.
