4.10.2 BLOCKQUOTE Element

The BLOCKQUOTE element allows quoted text to be rendered in an appropriate way. Typically this may be slightly indented, or italicized. BLOCKQUOTE also causes a paragraph break, and typically forces white space both before and after the quotation.

For example, the following text:

I think it ends
<BLOCKQUOTE>Soft you now, the fair Ophelia. Nymph, in 
thy orisons, be all my sins remembered.  Fair twilight, 
and foxy swarms of ants, did slyly open the jars of jam.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
but I might be wrong.

Is rendered as follows:

I think it ends

Soft you now, the fair Ophelia. Nymph, in thy orisons, be all my sins remembered. Fair twilight, and foxy swarms of ants, did slyly open the jars of jam.

but I might be wrong.
