Blockquote
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In HTML and XHTML, the blockquote element defines a block quotation within the text.
The
blockquoteelement is used to indicate the quotation of a large section of text from another source. Using the default HTML styling of most web browsers, it will indent the right and left margins both on the display and in printed form.
It should be noted that in many Wiki markup languages, this is different from the use of an initial colon in a paragraph, which may be translated into an HTML dd element enclosed within a dl element. (That is a 'data definition' within a 'definition list', without there being any preceding 'data term' or dt element). Other CSS techniques may alternatively be applied. In any case, the intention is usually only to indent the left margin.
