Markdown Blockquotes

Blockquotes are used to highlight a section of text that is quoted from another source. In Markdown, you create blockquotes (which correspond to the HTML blockquote tag) using the > character.

Basic Blockquotes

To create a blockquote, add a > before the paragraph.

Multiple Paragraphs

Blockquotes can contain multiple paragraphs. Add a > on the blank lines between paragraphs to keep them within the blockquote.

Nested Blockquotes

You can nest blockquotes by adding additional > characters.

Blockquotes with Other Elements

Blockquotes can also contain other Markdown elements like headings, lists, and emphasis.
