The Blockquote element is used to set apart a long quotation in text. Typically, blockquote rendering would be a slight extra left and right indent, and possibly rendered in an italic font. The Blockquote element causes a paragraph break, and typically provides space above and below the quote.

Description |
CLASS |
Class of the tag being defined. This is used to associate a subclassed style sheet with the tag. |
ID |
SGML identifier used as the target for hypertext links or for naming particular elements in associated style sheets. Valid ID values must begin with a letter. The underscore character, "_", may be used in the ID name. The ID should be unique throughout the scope of the document. If more than one object with the same identifier exists in a document, a collection of those named items is created that can only be referenced by ordinal position. |
LANG |
Specifies which language to use in ISO standard language abbreviation form. |
LANGUAGE |
Specifies the language the current script is written in and invokes the
proper scripting engine. The default value is JAVASCRIPT. |
STYLE |
Inline style sheet for the tag. |
TITLE |
The TITLE attribute is for advisory information (unless used with a mailto: attribute). The Title attribute should provide the title of the document whose address is given by the HREF attribute. The contents of the title attribute will be displayed in a tooltip during the mouse moves on the link. Internet Explorer 4.0 (and above) is the only browser to implement this. |
event |
Can be one or more of these events: |
IE 4.0+ and Netscape 4.0+ support it.
