Blockquote

The blockquote element is used to indicate the quotation of a large section of text from another source.

The Blockquote is also available as an Experience Cloud Component.

Overview

The Blockquote Component allows users to add blockquotes to their content. A blockquote is a formatting element in HTML used to indicate a quote or excerpt from another source. It is typically displayed as indented text with a visual styling to distinguish it from the surrounding text.

Overall, the Blockquote Flow Component is valuable for allowing users to add quotes or excerpts from other sources to their content clearly and visually.

  • Title: Sets the title of the blockquote.

Using Mapped Values

Mapped Values allow dynamic configuration based on variables available in your flow. This feature is handy for creating responsive content that changes according to the flow's context.

How to Apply Mapped Values

  1. Choose the Setting: Select the setting you want to configure (e.g., Title, Content).

  2. Select Mapped Value: In the property editor, choose 'Mapped Value' instead of entering text manually.

  3. Pick a Variable: Choose a flow variable that holds the data you want to display in the blockquote.

Using Mapped Values, your blockquotes can dynamically reflect the content based on the flow’s current state, making your screen flows more interactive and contextually relevant.
