The <blockquote> tag in HTML is used to display 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. In blockquote tags, we can use elements like headings, lists, paragraphs, etc.
Note: The <blockquote> tag in HTML4.1 defines the long quotation i.e. quotations that span multiple lines. But in HTML5, the <blockquote> tag specifies the section that is quoted from other sources.
Syntax:
<blockquote> Contents... </blockquote>
Attribute: It contains a single attribute cite which is used to specify the source of the quotation.
Example 1: This example illustrates the blockquote tag
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>GeeksforGeeks</h1>
<h2><blockquote> Tag</h2>
<blockquote cite=
<p>
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It
is used to design web pages using a markup language.
HTML is the combination of Hypertext and Markup language.
Hypertext defines the link between the web pages. A
markup language is used to define the text document within
tag which defines the structure of web pages.
