The blockquote tag’s default styling results in a block-level block of text with a left indent.

The following HTML code:

<h1>HTML &lt;blockquote&gt; (with a Shakespeare parody)</h1>
<blockquote>
	To slack, or not to slack, that is the question;<br />
	Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer<br />
	The zeros and low marks of outrageous assignments,<br />
	Or to take pens against a sea of compositions,<br />
	And by opposing, finish them.
</blockquote>
