Blockquote

What is Blockquote?

A line starting with >, rendered as a quoted, indented block — for quoting someone, or your own past self.

Why it matters

Visually sets quoted text apart from your own writing.

How it works

Start each line of the quote with > and a space. A >> nests a quote inside a quote.

Examples

  • `> The best time to write it down was when you thought of it.`
