Now we're ready to build and display the output... the pull quote. Remember the $quote variable that you created previously? Now we need to create it.

$quote .= "<div style='float:".$f.";width:".$w."'>";
	$quote .= "<div class='pullquote'><div class='content' style='color:".$c.";'>";
	$quote .= $data;
	$quote .= "</div></div></div>";

The $data variable represents the actual quote text. Remember the error checking from before, to ensure that the text isn't empty?

• The $f represents the position.
• The $w represents the width.
• The $c represents the color.

.pullquote  {
font-family:Times,serif;
font-size:1.6em;
font-style:italic;
font-weight:bold;
line-height:1em;
margin:10px;
padding:20px 10px;
}

Using the Plugin

Now that you've built the Pullquote plugin, it is time to use it in wiki page.

1. Copy the wikiplugin_pullquote.php plugin file to the ../lib/wiki-plugins/.. directory.
   Your plugin should look similar to:
