Description:
The HTML blockquote tag inserts block quotations. As it is a block-level element, is useful, for example, to insert long quotations that are divided in paragraphs. User agents usually render the text inside this element indented. The <blockquote> tag specifies a section that is quoted from another source.
Browsers usually indent <blockquote> elements.
Difference between HTML and XHTML:
The <blockquote> tag should contain only block-level elements within it, and not just plain text.
Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML5:
In HTML 4.01, the <blockquote> tag defines a long quotation.
In HTML5, the <blockquote> tag specifies a section that is quoted from another source.
Example:
|
<blockquote>Browsers generally render blockquote text as indented text. If your quoted text needs to display within a non-quoted paragraph, you should use the HTML q tag. Most browsers surround q text with quotation marks.</blockquote> <q>Browsers generally render blockquote text as indented text.
