CSS quotes - general styling

Dev
1

The standard quote styling in Discourse, what are the exact CSS classes etc. that control this.

I’ve played with .blockquote but what is creating the left circa 4/6 px line and the bg colour, well actually in the user quote title, is that jsut .title.

As usual thanks in advance. I’ve been staring at a screen too long today. I’m done! If only this forum served :beers: ya know!

You’ll want to style aside.quote .title and blockquote… You can cover both like this:

aside.quote .title, blockquote {
    // Styles here
}

Hi, a specific question:

Does anybody know the CSS of nested quotes, specifically the “first-level” nested quotes?

What I want to achieve is a different color scheme for nested quotes from the “main quote”.

From something like this

.quote aside .quote, .quote aside .title, .quote aside blockquote, .quote aside .onebox, .quote aside .onebox-result, blockquote, aside.quote .title {
        border-left: 5px solid #212121;
        background: #25272d;
        box-shadow: 0 2px 5px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.16),0 0 0 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.12);
        border-radius: 2px;
    }

I tried to make a different color scheme to just this part

.quote aside .quote, .quote aside .title, .quote aside blockquote, .quote aside .onebox, .quote aside .onebox-result

And I get a partial success, but not the entire nested quote.

Any ideas?

I think something like this might work

aside.quote blockquote {
  blockquote,
  aside.quote {
    &,
    .title,
    .onebox,
    .onebox-result {
      background-color: red;
    }
  }
}

This is a little hard to read in SASS, but the final output is

aside.quote blockquote blockquote,
aside.quote blockquote blockquote .title,
aside.quote blockquote blockquote .onebox,
aside.quote blockquote blockquote .onebox-result,
aside.quote blockquote aside.quote,
aside.quote blockquote aside.quote .title,
aside.quote blockquote aside.quote .onebox,
aside.quote blockquote aside.quote .onebox-result {
  background-color: red;
}
