HTML Blockquote
An HTML Block quote tag is one way to quote text from another source. They are usually indented by most browsers and are used to define a long quotation. This HTML tag can also contain a cite=”url”. To insert this tag into your HTML Code use <blockquote> the quote </blockquote>. If you want to add the source of your quote to the blockquote, use <blockquote cite=”url”> as your opening for the blockquote.

A block quote tag is a block level element. This means that while you are coding and declare the tag your text will jump to the next line. It will not be styled in the current sentence that you are writing, such as an italic or bold word would. If you want to have the quote styled in your text rather then on a new line you can use the <q> tag.
