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 4}}</code>
Line 3<br/>
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:
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}}}}}}
