''(This section is transcluded from [[Template:Blockquote paragraphs]])''
<div style="float: right; padding: 0 1em;">{{navbar|Blockquote paragraphs|plain=y}}</div>
The {{code|lang=html|code=<blockquote>}} element and any templates that use it do not honor newlines:
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="html">
<blockquote>
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
</blockquote>
</syntaxhighlight>
|<blockquote>
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
</blockquote>
}}

An easy solution is to use the {{tl|poemquote}} 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:
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="html">
<blockquote><poem>
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
</poem></blockquote>
</syntaxhighlight>
|<blockquote><poem>
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
</poem></blockquote>
}}

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:

{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="html">
<blockquote>
Paragraph 1

Paragraph 2

Paragraph 3
</blockquote>
</syntaxhighlight>
|<blockquote>
Paragraph 1

Paragraph 2

Paragraph 3
</blockquote>
}}

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.)

This paragraph style also works with {{tl|quote}}, which is a replacement for {{xtag|blockquote}} that also has parameters to make formatting of the attribution more convenient and consistent.
