BLOCKQUOTE
The BLOCKQUOTE element allows quoted text to be rendered
in an appropriate way. Typically this may be slightly
indented, or italicized. BLOCKQUOTE also causes a paragraph
break, and typically forces white space both before and after
the quotation.
Single-font rendition may reflect the quotation style of Internet mail
by putting a vertical line of graphic characters (such as the greater
than symbol, >) in left margin.
For example, the following text:
I think it ends
<BLOCKQUOTE>Soft you now, the fair Ophelia. Nymph, in
thy orisons, be all my sins remembered. Fair twilight,
and foxy swarms of ants, did slyly open the jars of jam.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
but I might be wrong.
Is rendered as follows:
I think it ends
Soft you now, the fair Ophelia. Nymph, in thy
orisons, be all my sins remembered. Fair twilight, and
foxy swarms of ants, did slyly open the jars of jam.
but I might be wrong.
