Extended Quotations


     Sometimes when you’re designing a Web page you’ll have a quote you wish to highlight within the text. The tag is used to automatically indent and separate the quote from the rest of the text. For example:

     My favorite passage in Henry V is <p>

<blockquote>     I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, <p>

Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot:<p>

Follow your spirit, and upon this charge, <p>

Cry ‘God for Harry, England, and Saint George!’ </blockquote>     <p>

Though I think the St. Crispan’s speech is pretty good too.<p>

The result is:

My favorite passage in Henry V is

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,

Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot:

Follow your spirit, and upon this charge,

Cry ‘God for Harry, England, and Saint George!’

Though I think the St. Crispan’s speech is pretty good, too.

The <blockquote> tag distinguishes the quote from the other text by giving it some space and indenting it. In this case, we’ve also used a few line break tags, <br>’s, to split each line.

No assignment here, but the notes are very clear.  You need to remember this for the test.
