Blockquote element
In HTML , XHTML and MediaWiki, the blockquote element defines "a section [within a document] that is quoted from another source". The syntax is codice_1. The codice_2 element is used to indicate the quotation of a large section of text from another source. Using the default HTML styling of most web browsers, it will indent the right and left margins both on the display and in printed form, but this may be overridden by Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). The non-semantic use of the codice_2 element purely to indent text has been deprecated by the W3C (World Wide Web  Consortium) since HTML 4. The preferred approach is the use of CSS. Usage. Related HTML elements include the codice_4 and codice_5 tags for shorter, probably in-line, quotations and for citations respectively. An HTML attribute specific to the codice_6 and codice_4 tags is codice_8 where the provenance of the material quoted may be given. If the quotation is in a language other than that of the main document, codice_9 and maybe codice_10 attributes may be relevant to specify the language of the quoted text and perhaps its direction, left-to-right or right-to-left. codice_11 may be used for  semantic or styling purposes. Relationship to some wiki markup and usage. In many Wiki markup languages, the semantics and effect of HTML codice_6 is different from the use of an initial colon in a paragraph, which may be translated into an HTML codice_13 element enclosed within a codice_14 element. (That is a "data definition" within a "definition list", without there being any preceding "data term" or codice_15 element).
