Blockquote Tags

The <blockquote> tag defines a long quotation. Blockquote tags (<blockquote>, </blockquote>) are used to set off a section or block of text from the surrounding text meaning to say browser inserts white space before and after a blockquote element. Blockquote is often rendered with indented margins. Open your favorite text editor again and key in the code below.

<html>
<head><title>Blockquote</title></head>
<body>
<p>This is a normal paragraph.</p>

<blockquote><p>This paragraph is enclosed 
between blockquote tag. Blockqoute is used to define a long
quotation</p></blockquote>

<p>This is another normal paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>

The code above will be displayed like this in Mozilla Firefox.
