<blockquote>

The blockquote element represents a section quoted from another source.

Since HTML 2.0 Spec ↗

Syntax

<blockquote cite="url">...</blockquote>

Examples

<blockquote cite="https://example.com/speech">
  <p>The only limit is your imagination.</p>
</blockquote>
Output
Renders an indented quoted block; the cite URL is machine-readable but not displayed.

Use the optional cite attribute for the source URL. For visible attribution, place a <figcaption> by wrapping in <figure>, not inside the blockquote.
