EAD Tag Library for Version 1.0

EAD Elements: <blockquote> Block Quote

Description:

A formatting element that designates an extended quotation. The quotation is set off from the text by spacing or other typographic distinction.

Use the Emphasis <emph> element, not <blockquote>, to tag words that are set off with quotations for emphasis or as a small quoted phrase that occurs, "as these words do," in the line of text.

The <emph> element makes it possible to change the rendering of a phrase by changing the attribute value rather than re-tagging the text, e.g., when the rendering might be changed from surrounding quotation marks to bold, italics, or another display technique. Quotation marks may also be part of the text of an element, when the need for alternative renderings is not anticipated.

May contain:

address, chronlist, list, note, p, table

<blockquote><p>The city and the university must work together to
preserve and protect the history of the Ishtaba area for the use of future generations
of citizens. It is only through a thorough familiarity with the artifacts of our past
that we can instill in the young people of our community a sense of the unbroken ties
between their present and our past.
