Fancy CSS3 Pull-Quotes Pull-quotes are different from blockquotes in that they appear off to the side of your blog or news article. These often reference quoted text from the article, and so they appear slightly different than blockquotes. This default class has some basic properties along with 3 unique font families to choose from.
