Use the <blockquote> tag to indicate long quotations. The HTML <blockquote> tag is used to include long quotations (i.e. quotations that span multiple lines). It should contain only block-level elements within it and not just plain text.
The following is the attribute −
Attribute | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
cite ![]() | URL | URL of the quote, if it is taken from the web. |
Example
You can try to run the following code to implement <blockquote> tag in an HTML document −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>HTML blockquote Tag</title> </head> <body> <blockquote>Browsers generally render blockquote text as indented text. If your quoted text needs to display within a non-quoted paragraph, you should use the HTML q tag. Most browsers surround q text with quotation marks.</blockquote> <q>Browsers generally render blockquote text as indented text.
