BLOCKQUOTE

The BLOCKQUOTE element allows text quoted from another source to be rendered specially.

Typical rendering

A typical rendering might be a slight extra left and right indent, and/or italic font. BLOCKQUOTE causes a paragraph break, and typically a line or so of white space will be allowed between it and any text before or after it.

Single-font rendition may for example put a vertical line of ">" characters down the left margin to indicate quotation in the Internet mail style.

Example

I think it ends
<BLOCKQUOTE>Soft you now, the fair Ophelia. Nymph, in thy orisons, 
be all my sins remembered.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
but I am not sure.
