A blockquote can contain many kinds of paragraphs and blocks, I certainly consider adding a <blockquote> is easier and helps with consistency. Perhaps you didn't know a <blockquote> can contain <p> and <div> tags too?:
Code:
<p>Normal text ...</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="salutation">My dear Someone,</p>
<p>Normal letter text...</p>
<p>Normal letter text...</p>
<p>Normal letter text...</p>
<p class="center">Love</p>
<div class="signature">Myself</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Normal text...</p>
Would you rather add different styles for "salutation", "center" and "signature" inside or outside a blockquote? And here:
Code:
<p>Normal text...</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Long quotation...</p>
<p>Long quotation...</p>
<p>Long quotation...</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Normal text...</p>
Would you rather add a top margin to the first paragraph and a bottom margin to the last paragraph in the quote?
