This is a block type used in Stencila Schema for quoted content.

It exists to represent extended quotations as structured block content, distinct from both inline quotation and untyped paragraphs. This helps preserve attribution, provenance, and format mappings for quoted material.

Key properties include the quoted content and any citation or source metadata associated with the quotation.

Testing

During property-based (a.k.a generative) testing, the properties of the QuoteBlock type are generated using the following strategies.

Property	Complexity	Description	Strategy
`content`	Min+	Generate a single arbitrary paragraph.	`vec_paragraphs(1)`
	Low+	Generate up to two arbitrary, non-recursive, block nodes.	`vec_blocks_non_recursive(2)`
	High+	Generate up to four arbitrary, non-recursive, block nodes.	`vec_blocks_non_recursive(4)`
	Max	Generate up to eight arbitrary, non-recursive, block nodes.	`vec_blocks_non_recursive(8)`
