A blockquote is a quotation that is a separate paragraph used to set off a longer quote from the main text. Blockquotes in Cascade are styled differently from normal paragraph text using indentation, a left-hand border and a slightly lighter background.

Note that this is in contrast to using quotation marks to identify a shorter quote.

Creating block quotes

In the WYSIWYG editor, place your cursor in the paragraph you wish to style as a blockquote. Select Formats > Blocks > Blockquote.
