======Block Quote Plugin===

The [[doku>plugin:blockquote|blockquote]] plugin creates semantically correct quotes by using the blockquote XHTML tag. In contrast to the default wiki markup for quoting, the content of the quote can contain any wiki markup which then gets interpreted as it would outside of the quote environment. Thus, also nested quotes are possible. 

===== Syntax =====

The plugin provides two additional pairs of markup tags, the ''blockquote'' and the ''cite'' markup. The ''blockquote'' allows an additional citation source to be given after the ''blockquote'' keyword in the opening tag. The ''cite'' markup was mainly created to allow the addition of more complex citation sources (including links, text formatting etc) inside the ''blockquote'' environment, although it can also be used standalone. See the examples below.

===== Examples ====

==== Loads of markup ===

The following code

<code>
<blockquote>
Test with loads of markup...

Another paragraph with a little [[http://nowhere|link]] to nowhere. Oh, and while we are at it, what about some **bold**, some //italic// and some __underlined__ text? And finally, an itemization:

  * item 1
    * item 1.1
    * item 1.2
  * item 2
    - ordered item 2.1
    - ordered item 2.2
      - ordered item 2.2.1
  * item 3

Works :-)
