## Usage notes

According to the specification, attribution for the quotation, if any, must be placed outside the `<blockquote>` element.

To change the indentation applied to the quoted text, use the {{Glossary("CSS")}} {{cssxref("margin-left")}} and/or {{cssxref("margin-right")}} properties, or the {{cssxref("margin")}} shorthand property.

To include shorter quotes inline rather than in a separate block, use the {{HTMLElement("q")}} (Quotation) element.
