Difference between revisions of "Template:Blockquote paragraphs"

The intuitive choice:

{{bq|Line 1

Line 2
Line 3

Line 4}}

results in the mangled:

Template:bq

Blank lines seem to work at first:

{{bq|Line 1

Line 2

Line 3

Line 4}}

though with quite tall spacing between the content blocks (lines, in our test cases):

Template:bq

Yet this markup fails with wiki ":" indentation:

Template:bq

Just trying to use Template:tag or Template:tag markup won't solve all the problems:

{{bq|Line 1<br/>

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

Line 4}}

results in odd spacing, with the middle blocks too close together:

Template:bq

Meanwhile this version seems okay at first:

{{bq|<p>Line 1</p>

<p>Line 2</p>
<p>Line 3</p>

<p>Line 4</p>}}

Template:bq

but again can't be indented:

Template:bq

Template:collapse bottom

Template:As of, the Template:em solution for the problem is to use Template:em with Template:tag or Template:tag elements (or others, like nested blockquotes and lists):

Template:tnull

which, while hard to read, especially for long content, results in the expected:

Template:bq

And it Template:em work with wikimarkup ":" indentation, unlike the failed test cases above:

Template:bq

Happily, there is an HTML-comment workaround for readability that lets you do whatever you want:

{{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.}}

which results in the expected:

Template:bq

They Template:em indentable:

Template:bq

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