The blockquote tag
The blockquote tag is used to highlight long quotations within a document. The tag can be used together with the cite tag, which is needed to indicate a link to the source of the quotation.
By default, the text taken in the blockquote tag has a left indent. It can be removed using the CSS property margin.
