Blockquote
The <blockquote> element is used to enclose quotations. The effect in browsers is that the block
of text is indented.
Here is a quotation by Maria Mitchell:
"We have a hunger of the mind which asks for knowledge of all around us, and the more we gain, the more is our desire; the more we see, the more we are capable of seeing."
The code is shown below:
<blockquote> <p>"We have a hunger of the mind which asks for knowledge of all around us, and the more we gain, the more is our desire; the more we see, the more we are capable of seeing." </p> </blockquote>
Note:
- Quotation marks
are NOT automatically generated by the
<blockquote>element. If you want quotation marks, you will need to add them yourself. - You must place your text within paragraph (
<p>) elements (or other block-level elements) within the<blockquote>.
