Quotations: The BLOCKQUOTE element

The following example illustrates a block quote and citing the source of the quote. Take note that the text in the block quote example is indented. This example formats an excerpt from "The Two Towers", by J.R.R. Tolkien, as a blockquote.

Example:

They went in single file, running like hounds on a strong scent, and an eager light was in their eyes. Nearly due west the broad swath of the marching Orcs tramped its ugly slot; the sweet grass of Rohan had been bruised and blackened as they passed.
