When writing long-form posts, I find it helpful to include pull-quotes, which help
those scanning a post discern whether or not a post is helpful. It is important to
note, {" pull-quotes are merely visual in presentation and should not appear twice in the text. "} That
is why it is preferred to use a CSS only technique for styling pull-quotes.
{% endpullquote %}
This will output the following:
<p><span data-pullquote="pullquotes are merely visual in presentation and should not appear twice in the text."></span>

This plugin does not currently ship with its own CSS for styling. Octopress themes will have styling for this or you may look to Maykel Loomans for inspiration.
By default pull-quotes will be given the classname pullquote-right
. For center or left aligned pull quotes, add the alignment to the
tag like this.
{% pullquote %} #=> class='pullquote-right'
{% pullquote left %} #=> class='pullquote-left'
{% pullquote center %} #=> class='pullquote-center'
Any other text added to the pull-quote tag will be added as a classname too.
{% pullquote big %} #=> class='pullquote-right big'
{% pullquote left highlight %} #=> class='pullquote-left highlight'
