Extended Quotations
Use The <BLOCKQUOTE> tag to include lengthy
quotations in a separate block on the screen. Most browsers generally change
the margins for the quotation to separate it from surrounding text.
In this example:
Omit needless words
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words,
paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should
have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. -- William Strunk,
Jr., 1918.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
The result is:
Omit needless words.
Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. --William Strunk, Jr., 1918.
The Blockquote tag is a closed tag.
