blockquote

Support

Specifies a long quotation.

There are two elements in HTML that designate quoted text: the blockquote element for long quotations and the q element for short quotations. The contents of a blockquote element are rendered as an indented paragraph, the contents of a q element are rendered as an inline element in quotation marks.

Example

<p>Some text before the quotation.
<blockquote cite="http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Benjamin_Franklin/">
All would live long, but none would be old.
</blockquote>
Some text after the quotation. </p>
