blockquote

Definition and Usage

The <blockquote> tag specifies a section that is quoted from another source. The HTML <blockquote> tag is used for indicating long quotations (i.e. quotations that span multiple lines). It should contain only block-level elements within it, and not just plain text.he HTML <blockquote> Element indicates that the enclosed text is an extended quotation. Usually, this is rendered visually by indentation . A URL for the source of the quotation may be given using the cite attribute, while a text representation of the source can be given using the <cite> element. The blockquote element represents a section that is quoted from another source. Browsers generally render blockquote text as indented text. The <blockquote> element defines a block of text that is a direct quotation. The <quote> element should be used when a quotation is presented inline with the surrounding text, but when the quotation is presented as a separate paragraph, <blockquote> is the appropriate element to use to identify the quotation.
