The <blockquote> Tag (XHTML Reference)
Introduction
The <blockquote> is used to create a quotation. It can
be very useful if you want to quote somebody from your webpage. Many forums do
have that feature. Of course we could also use simple “” to quote somebody, but
that doesn’t look really nice. The blockquote tag increases the indent of the
quotation text so that the reader directly recognizes that this is a quotation.
It uses spaces on both sides of the quotation text.
Example
…
<p>This is some normal text</p>
<blockquote><p>
This is a quotation This is a quotation This is a quotation This
is a quotation This is a quotation This is a quotation This is a quotation This
is a quotation This is a quotation This is a quotation This is a quotation This
is a quotation This is a quotation This is a quotation This is a quotation This
is a quotation This is a quotation This is a quotation
</p></blockquote>
