Description

Tiki's wiki syntax provides no equivalent of the HTML blockquote tags. Most (if not all) of the major literary stylebooks require that quotations longer than 2 lines be set forth as a separate paragraph indented on both sides and single spaced. In the judicial setting, this is universally required by court rules.

The RFCWiki draftQuestion specifies support for this syntax feature in section 4.13.1 as follows:

A block indent is created by using the minus (-) with the greater character (>) at the beginning of the line. The number of minus characters defines the indentation.

Example:
-> Block indent level 1
--> Block indent level 2

The material quoted above should, of course, be blockquoted. 😊

This may seem surprising, but this is a very important feature to us. We are preparing an integrated free and open source solution for law offices. We want to use Tiki as one foundation of that solution. But legal professionals are going to howl if they can't have their indented quotations.

Solution
Copy to clipboard
{DIV(type=>blockquote)}
text
text
{DIV}


works well enough. It allows nesting of blockquotes as well.
