Add a Block Quote

You can use block quotes to set off a passage of text from the rest of the document. In the browser, the <blockquote> tag typically adds an equal amount of extra space on both sides of the text. Block quotes are commonly used with quoted text or excerpts from other sources. Another way to add space around blocks of text is with CSS styles. You can also change color, font size, and other characteristics of your blocks of text with CSS. See Chapter 5 for details.

Add a Block Quote

1. Type <blockquote> in front of the text you want to turn into a block quote.
2. Type </blockquote> at the end of the text.

1. The web browser displays the block quote as inset text on the document page.
