This is used to set text apart as quotations.
<blockquote>A typical rendering of a BLOCKQUOTE is to provide extra indentation on both sides, and possibly highlight the characters in the BLOCKQUOTE.</blockquote>
The <blockquote> tag is intended for long quotation while <Q> is intended for short, in-line, quotations.
When <blockquote> is used as a "pure" HTML tag, the browser should not insert quotation marks before and after the quotation. This is so an author can use <blockquote> as a formatting option. However, if <blockquote> is used with CSS, quotations marks (appropriate to the language please) should be inserted. Should the author inadvertently put quotation marks in the wrong instance of the tag, the browser should sense the condition and not put in extra quoatation marks. So sayeth W3C!
stipulates a slight difference:"The WebTV interface implements this tag somewhat differently than as defined by HTML 2.0. The WebTV interface inserts a blank line before and another blank line after the block quote. Also, the block of text is only indented from the left margin; it extends all the way to the right margin." WebTV 1.2 DTD.
