Blockquote is one of those tags that was badly misused for styling purposes. Now it can only be used within a block level element, namely p. I like to use the q tag because it introduces quote marks in Firefox.
I can't see what value it now has. Being a block quote you would assume it is a block element but if it requires a container it just seems to be an unnecessary layer. Wouldn't it be better to simply encase a quote in a p and give a class 'blockquote'? On 4 April 2010 03:39, T. R.
