Create Pull Quotes in Squarespace: Guide to Format & Style Text in Classic Editor
Creating a pull quote in the classic editor lets you highlight important text by floating it within other content. Here's how to do it:
Step 1: Add the Pull Quote Text
- Create a new text block with your quote
- Ensure the quote is in its own separate block
- Highlight the text and choose a format (heading recommended for v7.0, multiple options for v7.1)
Note: Using heading format can impact SEO, so include relevant keywords if possible.
