 * OK, I’m still looking for how to output quote and quote_source. I’ve been searching
   the file contents of the WP source code for hints, but have not managed to find
   anything. For others who run into the same problem my interim solution is to 
   use `add_theme_support( 'structured-post-formats'` for everything but the quote
   format, for which i use `add_theme_support( 'post-formats'` and let WP generate
   the code. The code that is output follows the reasoning of [this post](http://alistapart.com/blog/post/more-thoughts-about-blockquotes-than-are-strictly-required),
   which I think is semantically fine.
 * But, for anyone who might have an answer to my original question — how to output
   quote & quote_source — I’m still very eager to know.

 * Thanks, nice to see it is possible! It seems this is where structured-post-formats
   in functions.php actually gets useful too.
 * Sorry for the stupidity but I’m not sure I understand how to output the data 
   looking at what you gave me though.
    `<?php the_post_format_url(); ?>` outputs
   what I want for the Link URL of the link and quote post format, but how I’m not
   sure how I should format the php tag for the other fields like `quote` and `quote_source`.
   <?php the_post_format_quote(); ?> does not work and I don’t understand the role
   of `$post_id` in your example.
 * Thanks again!
