Due to the utterly intractable MediaWiki bug reported at Template:bugzilla, block quoting cannot handle freeform linebreaking for paragraphs and poems and the like.

The problem in action:

{{bq|Line 1<br/>

Line 2<br/>
Line 3<br/>

Line 4.}}</code>

Which results in the oddly spaced: Template:bq

The Template:em solution for this is to use unbroken markup with Template:tag or Template:tag elements:

Template:tnull

Which results in the expected: Template:bq

However there is an HTML-comment workaround for readability that lets you do whatever you want, and is even indentable with <code>*, : and # markup:

{{bq|1=<!--

-->Line 1<br/><!--
-->Line 2<br/><!--
-->Line 3<br/><!--
-->Line 4.}}

Or even:

{{bq|1=<!--


-->Line 1<br/><!--

-->Line 2<br/><!--

-->Line 3<br/><!--

-->Line 4.}}

Either which results in the expected:

Template:bq {{#invoke:documentation|main|_content={{ {{#invoke:documentation|contentTitle}}}}}}
