## Share Your Quotes with Ease

QuotesDLX is designed with the WordPress block editor in mind.

### Easy to insert

Just type in `/quotes` into the block editor to insert the block.

![Inserting the QuotesDLX Block](https://1948389296-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F0fWeIf0dD55hk2b9Gqjx%2Fuploads%2FM4HDVWYl2LMa3izQN9Of%2Fquotes-dlx-block-insertion.gif?alt=media\&token=29c618a5-a306-4c5d-ad18-d47396edf041)

### Add some text

Add your quote content directly into the block.

![Adding your quote is just as simple as Copy & Paste](https://1948389296-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F0fWeIf0dD55hk2b9Gqjx%2Fuploads%2FRuQrHSlapayul61I81eD%2Fquotes-dlx-blockquote-text-insertion.gif?alt=media\&token=a8d9f4ac-3e96-4bc4-aaec-2ce97ad0e73f)

### Trim the text for sharing

If your quote is too long, you can trim the text for sharing. Keep the original quote, and optimize for social.

![If your quote is too long, you can customize what is shared](https://1948389296-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F0fWeIf0dD55hk2b9Gqjx%2Fuploads%2FRou9o57K1GnQ28Yi92bW%2Fquotes-dlx-change-social-text.gif?alt=media\&token=8147c422-05e0-4516-86df-9f60b6cef4f0)

### Select a theme

Select from one of four beautifully designed themes (more themes are coming soon).

![Selecting a new theme is just a few clicks from the toolbar](https://1948389296-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F0fWeIf0dD55hk2b9Gqjx%2Fuploads%2FZGcW5UX1BkHUSspdPIug%2Fquotes-dlx-select-a-theme.gif?alt=media\&token=1c16c0a4-2d72-4230-a5f5-cf3fc7295afe)

### Publish

Once you're done, publish or update the page and view your quote on the front-end.

![The quote is presented and a user can take action if needed](https://1948389296-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F0fWeIf0dD55hk2b9Gqjx%2Fuploads%2FEPr4QCbte9smRPiIeMh5%2Fquotes-dlx-front-end.gif?alt=media\&token=36f83a43-1d90-4446-938b-d9c8059a22e7)

## Shortcode Support

If you're still on the classic editor or using a page builder, you can now output any quote using a convenient shortcode.

In addition, you can set the shortcode defaults via the admin panel.
