A typical rendering might be a slight extra left and right indent, and/or italic font. The Blockquote element causes a paragraph break, and typically provides space above and below the quote.
Single-font rendition may reflect the quotation style of Internet mail by putting a vertical line of graphic characters, such as the greater than symbol (>), in the left margin.
Example of use:
I think the poem endswould be displayed as:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>Soft you now, the fair Ophelia.
Nymph, in thy orisons, be all my sins remembered.
</BLOCKQUOTE> but I am not sure.
