Pull quotes and side bars

User view of pulled items

Pulled items have two different style types. There’s the vt-pullQuote class that will add the corner decorations to the container and a vt-pullOutdent class that does not have decorations. In order to style the quote or general text in the pulled item, that component will need two classes, vt-quote-text, if it is a quote with attribution a second text component with the classes vt-quote-attribution assigned to it is needed. If creating a side bar using the vt-pullOutdent class on the container you can place any other components into the container to be pulled left or right. To use the same text treatment, simply add the vt-quote-text classes to the text component you want styled similarly.

The position and size of the pulled item is determined by Bootstrap classes:

  • pull-right OR pull-left  -- position of pulled item
  • col-lg-7 -- width of pulled item at mobile and desktop sizes, respectively
