Blockquote Function

Generally the <BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE> function is used to set aside quotations, but it can be used for other purposes. Blockquote indents text from the left and the right.

Let's say that you're doing a site and you don't understand tables. You know that the site will look better if the content doesn't run from the extreme left margin to the extreme right margin, but you're not up to speed on the whole table design issue, wherein you can control page widths, etc.

This would be the time to create the skeleton for each page like this: <HTML><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE></HEAD><BODY><BLOCKQUOTE> Place all body content here </BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>

As a matter of fact, you can surround more than one BLOCKQUOTE set of tags and it will work, e.g., <BLOCKQUOTE><BLOCKQUOTE>page content</BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>
