The <blockquote> tag in HTML is used to display the long quotations (a section that is quoted from another source). It changes the alignment to make it unique from others. It contains both opening and closing tags.

Syntax:

<blockquote> Contents... </blockquote>

Example 1:

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  
<head>
    <title>

        is an extended quotation?
    </title>
</head>
  
<body>
    <h1 style="color:green;">
        GeeksforGeeks
    </h1>
  
    <h3>

    <blockquote>
        GeeksforGeeks: A computer 
        science portal for geeks
    </blockquote>
</body>
  
</html>
