The {{code|lang=html|code=<blockquote>}} element and any templates that use it do not honor newlines:<br />
{{markup<br />
|<syntaxhighlight lang="html"><br />
<blockquote><br />
Line 1<br />
Line 2<br />
Line 3<br />
Line 4<br />
</blockquote><br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
|<blockquote><br />
Line 1<br />
Line 2<br />
Line 3<br />
Line 4<br />
</blockquote><br />
}}<br />
<br />
An easy solution is to use the {{tl|poem quote}} template instead of {{tag|blockquote}}. This is effectively the same as using the {{xtag|poem}} tag inside {{code|lang=html|code=<blockquote>}}, which converts line breaks to {{code|lang=html|code=<br />}} tags:<br />
{{markup<br />
|<syntaxhighlight lang="html"><br />
<blockquote><poem><br />
Line 1<br />
Line 2<br />
Line 3<br />
Line 4<br />
</poem></blockquote><br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
|<blockquote><poem><br />
Line 1<br />
Line 2<br />
Line 3<br />
Line 4<br />
</poem></blockquote><br />
}}<br />
<br />
To markup actual paragraphs within block quotations, entire blank lines can be used between them, which will convert to {{code|lang=html|code=<p>...</p>}} tags:<br />
<br />
{{markup<br />
|<syntaxhighlight lang="html"><br />
<blockquote><br />
Paragraph 1<br />
<br />
Paragraph 2<br />
<br />
Paragraph 3<br />
</blockquote><br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
|<blockquote><br />
Paragraph 1<br />
<br />
Paragraph 2<br />
<br />
Paragraph 3<br />
</blockquote><br />
}}<br />
<br />
Note that it may be necessary to put a line break in the wikitext before <nowiki><blockquote> and after </blockquote></nowiki> in order for the paragraphs to render with the intended separation. (This also makes the wikitext easier to read.)<br />
<br />
This paragraph style also works with {{tl|blockquote}}, which is a replacement for {{xtag|blockquote}} that also has parameters to make formatting of the attribution more convenient and consistent.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<!--Please do not "fix" these deliberate errors. --><br />
