Due to the utterly intractable [[MediaWiki]] bug reported at {{bugzilla|6200}}, and still unfixed {{as of|February 2012|lc=y}}, block quoting on Wikipedia, with or without a template, cannot handle freeform linebreaking for paragraphs and poems and the like, unless formatted one very specific (and annoying) way. It's not a problem of blockquote templates, but all uses of {{tag|blockquote|open}}.
+
The {{tag|blockquote|o}} element and any templates that use it do not honor newlines:
−
 
+
{{markup
−
{{collapse top|left=y|title=The problem in action: test cases that seem like they should work but fail|bg=#EEEEEE|bg2=#ECFCF4}}<div class="collapse-workaround">
+
|<nowiki><blockquote>
−
The intuitive choice:
+
Line 1
−
 
+
Line 2
−
<blockquote><code><nowiki>{{</nowiki><includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|Line 1 <br />
+
Line 3
−
Line 2 <br />
+
Line 4
−
Line 3 <br />
+
</blockquote></nowiki>
−
Line 4}}</code></blockquote>
+
|<blockquote>
−
 
+
Line 1
−
results in the mangled:
 
−
 
 
−
{{<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|Line 1
 
 
Line 2
 
Line 2
 
Line 3

Blank lines seem to work at first:
+
}}
−
 
 
−
<blockquote><code><nowiki>{{</nowiki><includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|Line 1 <br />
 
−
<br />
 
−
Line 2 <br />
 
−
<br />
 
−
Line 3 <br />
 
−
<br />
 
−
Line 4}}</code></blockquote>
 
−
 
 
−
though with quite tall spacing between the content blocks (lines, in our test cases):
 
−
 
 
−
{{<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|Line 1
 
  
 +
To resolve this, use the {{xtag|poem}} tag inside {{tag|blockquote|o}}:
 +
{{markup
 +
|<nowiki><blockquote><poem>
 +
Line 1
 
Line 2
 
Line 2
−
 
 
Line 3
 
Line 3
−
 
+
Line 4
−
Line 4}}
+
</poem></blockquote></nowiki>
−
 
+
|<blockquote><poem>
−
Yet this markup fails when the indent wikimarkup ":" is used:
+
Line 1
−
 
 
−
:{{<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|Line 1
 
−
 
 
 
Line 2
 
Line 2
−
 
 
Line 3
 
Line 3
−
 
+
Line 4
−
Line 4}}
+
</poem></blockquote>
−
 
+
}}<noinclude>
−
Just trying to use {{tag|p}} or {{tag|br|single}} markup won't solve all the problems:
 
−
 
 
−
<blockquote><code><nowiki>{{</nowiki><includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|Line 1 &lt;br/><br />
 
−
Line 2 &lt;br/><br />
 
−
Line 3 &lt;br/><br />
 
−
Line 4}}</code></blockquote>
 
−
 
 
−
results in odd spacing, with the middle blocks too close together:
 
−
 
 
−
{{<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|Line 1 <br />
 
−
Line 2 <br />
 
−
Line 3 <br />
 
−
Line 4}}
 
−
 
 
−
Meanwhile this version seems OK at first:
 
−
 
 
−
<blockquote><code><nowiki>{{</nowiki><includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|&lt;p>Line 1&lt;/p><br />
 
−
&lt;p>Line 2&lt;/p><br />
 
−
&lt;p>Line 3&lt;/p><br />
 
−
&lt;p>Line 4&lt;/p>}}</code></blockquote>
 
−
 
 
−
{{<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|<p>Line 1</p>
 
−
<p>Line 2</p>
 
−
<p>Line 3</p>
 
−
<p>Line 4</p>}}
 
−
 
 
−
but again can't be indented in by use of the indent wikimarkup ":"
 
−
 
 
−
:{{<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|<p>Line 1</p>
 
−
<p>Line 2</p>
 
−
<p>Line 3</p>
 
−
<p>Line 4</p>}}
 
−
 
 
−
{{collapse bottom}}
 
−
 
 
−
{{As of|February 2012}}, the {{em|only}} solution for the problem is to use {{em|unbroken markup}} with {{tag|p}} or {{tag|br|single}} elements (or others, like nested blockquotes and lists):
 
−
 
 
−
:{{tnull|<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|Line 1 &lt;br/>Line 2 &lt;br/>Line 3 &lt;br/>Line 4.}}
 
−
 
 
−
which, while hard to read, especially for long content, results in the expected:
 
−
 
 
−
{{<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|Line 1 <br />Line 2 <br />Line 3 <br />Line 4.}}
 
−
 
 
−
And it {{em|does}} work with the indent wikimarkup ":", unlike the failed test cases hereinbefore:
 
−
 
 
−
:{{<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|Line 1 <br />Line 2 <br />Line 3 <br />Line 4.}}
 
−
 
 
−
Happily, there is a [[HTML]] comment workaround for readability that lets you do whatever you want:
 
−
 
 
−
<blockquote><code><nowiki>
 
−
{{</nowiki><includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|1=&lt;!--<br />
 
−
-->Line 1 &lt;br/>&lt;!--<br />
 
−
-->Line 2 &lt;br/>&lt;!--<br />
 
−
-->Line 3 &lt;br/>&lt;!--<br />
 
−
-->Line 4.}}
 
−
</code></blockquote>
 
−
 
 
−
or even:
 
−
 
 
−
<blockquote><code><nowiki>
 
−
{{</nowiki><includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|1=&lt;!--<br />
 
−
<br />
 
−
-->Line 1 &lt;br/>&lt;!--<br />
 
−
<br />
 
−
-->Line 2 &lt;br/>&lt;!--<br />
 
−
<br />
 
−
-->Line 3 &lt;br/>&lt;!--<br />
 
−
<br />
 
−
-->Line 4.}}
 
−
</code></blockquote>
 
−
 
 
−
which results in the expected:
 
−
 
 
−
{{<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|1=<!--
 
−
 
 
−
-->Line 1 <br /><!--
 
−
 
 
−
-->Line 2 <br /><!--
 
−
 
 
−
-->Line 3 <br /><!--
 
−
 
 
−
-->Line 4.}}
 
−
 
 
−
They {{em|are}} citable:
 
−
 
 
−
:{{<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|1=<!--
 
−
-->Line 1 <br /><!--
 
−
-->Line 2 <br /><!--
 
−
-->Line 3 <br /><!--
 
−
-->Line 4.}}<noinclude>
