Synopsis

<blockquote>...</blockquote>

Identifies enclosed text as quoted material. Blockquotes are generally displayed with an indent on the left and right margins and added space above and below the paragraph.

Note that:

  • Some older browsers display blockquote material in italic, making it difficult to read.

  • Browsers are inconsistent in the way they display images within blockquotes. Some align the graphic with the indented blockquote margin; others align the image with the normal margin of paragraph text. It is a good idea to test on a variety of browsers.
