  Hello again,

  So I am trying to figure out how to do a pull quote for the Twenty Fourteen. I don’t quite understand the instructions.

  “Pull quotes can be enhanced by adding a class of pull to the blockquote element that is already left- or right-aligned.”

  So I tried:

  <div class= “pull-right”></div>
  OR

  and then aligning it, but to no avail. Help?

  blockquote class=”pquote” then <p>

  The documentation could definitely be better on this! The code you need is:

  `

  Your quote here.

  ‘

  You can use alignright for right-aligned quotes. If you want the quote to pull from the middle of a paragraph, I recommend putting the code right after end-of-sentence punctuation.

  Good luck!

  Oops, that didn’t work so well, did it? The code again is:

  blockquote class=”alignright” or blockquote class=”alignleft” inside a tag.

  In other words, you switch the editor to “Text” and turn this:
  <blockquote>
  to this:
  <blockquote class="alignleft">
  or this:
  <blockquote class="alignright">

  I’ve been trying to follow this discussion for writinginsidevt.com to no avail. Perhaps I have a misconception about how a pullquote looks: but isn’t it a blockquote with panache? I mean, I put in the code for it to align right, but it just looks the same as an old blockquote.

  I’d be most obliged for your help!

  Thanks.
