Template:Blockquote paragraphs

(This section is transcluded from Template:Blockquote paragraphs) The element and any templates that use it do not honor newlines:

An easy solution is to use the poem quote template instead of . This is effectively the same as using the poem tag inside, which converts line breaks to tags:

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

Note that it may be necessary to put a line break in the wikitext before "and after" 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.
