blockquote
Cited text container
A blockquote is an HTML element used to mark a passage quoted from another source.
In web design and text editors, blockquotes typically appear indented or visually set apart from surrounding text: The article included a blockquote from the president's speech.
The term has spread beyond coding to describe any visually distinguished quotation in digital contexts.
