os_blockquote

A block of text representing a quotation.

An os_blockquote is a block of elements representing a quotation. As a block-structuring page element that begins a new block on the page, os_blockquote is similar to os_paragraph , os_address , and os_preformatted .

os_blockquote does not contain text or images directly; it contains block-structuring elements (including itself) and elements like lists, tables, and forms. The contents of an os_blockquote are typically rendered indented and with space above and below the quote. Elements are inserted into an os_blockquote through either the add() member function or operator<< .
