<blockquote> ... </blockquote>
Available in versions: 2.0, 3.2, 4.0
The <blockquote> tag is used to offset a block of text (a citation) from the rest of the document.
The exact appearance will be browser dependent.
However, the citation is usually indented on both the right and left margins, may be in italics, and
is preceded and followed by paragraph breaks.
You will still need to use the br, p, and possibly other HTML tags to effect the
textual display and appearance that you desire.
In fact, you can use any other HTML tag inside a blockquote, including cite and q.
It is recommended that you use the blockquote tag for long citations
and the cite tag for short citations.
The closing tag is mandatory.
