Blockquote
Blockquotes are handy for
those long pieces of text which are quoted material and therefore need to be set apart and
indented. That is exactly what blockquote does. For example:
This section of text is surrounded by the blockquote tags. A blockquote can exist inside of a paragraph, and always lives on its own line (which is to say, there is an implied line break before and after the blockquote, just as with headings or paragraphs themselves).
Blockquotes are set up as follows:
<blockquote>
...text... </blockquote>
Just like most other things in HTML, it's a container.
Please try if you like, but applications for blockquotes are limited.
