The <blockquote> element and any templates that use it do not honor newlines:
| Markup |
Renders as
|
<blockquote>
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
</blockquote>
|
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
|
|
|
|
The simplest workaround for this is to use the <poem> tag inside <blockquote>, which will convert line breaks to <br /> tags:
| Markup |
Renders as
|
<blockquote><poem>
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
</poem></blockquote>
|
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
|
|
|
|
To markup actual paragraphs within block quotations, entire blank lines can be used between them, which will convert to <p>...</p> tags:
| Markup |
Renders as
|
<blockquote>
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 3
</blockquote>
|
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 3
|
|
|
