HTML Elements/DHTML Objects

Sets apart a block of text.

HTML Syntax

<blockquote

   id = value
   lang = language
   language = javascript | jscript | vbscript | vbs
   style = css properties
   title = text
   event = script

The BLOCKQUOTE element is normally used for quoting portions of content, to indicate that the quotation is borrowed.

Browsers generally render BLOCKQUOTE as an indented block that starts on a new line. Most browsers add extra space before a BLOCKQUOTE.

Though some authors use BLOCKQUOTE merely as a mechanism to indent text, this usage has been deprecated in favor of style sheets.

BLOCKQUOTE is for long quotations of block-level content, while Q is intended for short quotations of inline content that need no paragraph breaks. Both these elements designate quoted text.

Styles

<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<blockquote>And this is a blockquote.</blockquote>

This is a paragraph.

And this is a blockquote.

Q
