;{{t|quote}}
: Use {{t|quote}} to highlight some text as a quote. Use <code><nowiki>{{quote|TEXT|SOURCE}}</nowiki></code>, where <code>TEXT</code> is the quote itself and <code>SOURCE</code> is the source of the quote (typically the name of the speaker or a short description of the context, followed by a [[:Help:References|reference]]). <code><nowiki>{{quote|Do or do not. There is no try.|Yoda}}</nowiki></code> produces:
: {{quote|Do or do not. There is no try.|Yoda}}
There are a number of functions that can be used to generate different results based on the input provided. For an extensive list, see [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions MediaWiki's Parser Functions] page. Here are some of the basics:
;
: This function converts a string of text to all uppercase.
: ''Use:'' <code><nowiki>{{uc: TEXT}}</nowiki></code>, where <code>TEXT</code> is the text to be converted.
: This function performs a series of string compares until a "true" result is found.
: ''Use:'' <code><nowiki>{{#switch: X|A=Result1|B=Result2|C=Result3|etc.|Default}}</nowiki></code>, where <code>X</code> is compared to <code>A</code>, <code>B</code>, and so on. The first match provides the corresponding result. A final, default result may be provided in case no match is found.
: ''Example:'' <code><nowiki>{{#switch: cat|dog=bark|cat=meow|growl}}</nowiki></code> produces <code>meow</code> and <code><nowiki>{{#switch: bear|dog=bark|cat=meow|growl}}</nowiki></code> produces <code>growl</code>.
