(This section is transcluded from Template:Blockquote paragraphs)

Page Template:Hlist/styles.css has no content.

The <blockquote> element and any templates that use it do not honor newlines:

styleTemplate:="background:#f8f9fa ; border:1px solid #eaecf0 ; padding:9px 5px 5px; vertical-align:top;"|
<blockquote>
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
</blockquote>
styleTemplate:="background:#f8f9fa ; border:1px solid #eaecf0 ; padding:5px; vertical-align:top;"|

Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Line 4

An easy solution is to use the {{poem quote}} template instead of <blockquote>...</blockquote>. This is effectively the same as using the <poem> tag inside <blockquote>, which converts line breaks to <br /> tags:

styleTemplate:="background:#f8f9fa ; border:1px solid #eaecf0 ; padding:9px 5px 5px; vertical-align:top;"|
<blockquote><poem>
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
</poem></blockquote>
styleTemplate:="background:#f8f9fa ; border:1px solid #eaecf0 ; padding:5px; vertical-align:top;"|

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4

To markup actual paragraphs within block quotations, entire blank lines can be used between them, which will convert to <p>...</p> tags:

<blockquote>
Paragraph 1

Paragraph 2

Paragraph 3
</blockquote>
styleTemplate:="background:#f8f9fa ; border:1px solid #eaecf0 ; padding:5px; vertical-align:top;"|

Paragraph 1

Paragraph 2

Paragraph 3

Note that it may be necessary to put a line break in the wikitext before <blockquote> and after </blockquote> in order for the paragraphs to render with the intended separation. (This also makes the wikitext easier to read.)

This paragraph style also works with {{blockquote}}, which is a replacement for <blockquote> that also has parameters to make formatting of the attribution more convenient and consistent.

Blockquote and templates that call it, and are indented with colon (:), bulleted with asterisk (*), or numbered with number (#), will generate errors and incorrectly display anything after a newline character.
