What's this sidebar-type thing called?
Do anyone know the term for when text pulled from an article and it appears (one hopes close to the paragraph from which it comes), usually in some combination of bolded, italicized, larger, etc.? A good example can be found here:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3586421.stm
where the quotation
"I hope that we can stop people radicalising - but the social alienation will, for some people, lead them to exist in their own bubble, compounding what they believe "
appears in a wee box with exaggerated inverted commas etc.
TIA (if that's ok with CyberCypher)

[nq:1]It's used not only to highlight a particular piece of information in the article but also to change the graphic ... an otherwise grey mass of type when you don't have pix or time to get an illustration done before deadline.[/nq]
And in the same way you can adjust the size of a photo, you can adjust a pullquote (or pull-quote, as you prefer) to fit available space.
Handy things..

[nq:1]No, it's a pull-quote thingy akhserly.(I just happen to like a hyphen there; it looks odd otherwise.) A sidebar (no hyphen) usually in a box is a longer piece of copy expanding on some information already in the article.[/nq]
Well, that's why it's a sidebar-type rather than an aksherl sidebar. And why it is a thingy
