This displays OK in Sigil, but the -less <blockquote> generates a "no character data is allowed by content model". I usually try to eliminate as many errors as possible even if they don't matter, just to avoid missing an important one.

Code:

<body>
  <p>This is OK text with p tags</p>

  <blockquote>
    This is block quoted and there are no p tags This is block quoted and there are no p tags This is block quoted and there are no p tags This is block quoted and there are no p tags This is block quoted and there are no p tags This is block quoted and there are no p tags This is block quoted and there are no p tags
  </blockquote>

  </blockquote>

  <p>This is OK text also with p tags</p>
</body>

I did try some variations of a RegEx, but no luck (this is also a learning area for me)

F: (<blockquote>)!()(.*)!()(</blockquote>)
R: <blockquote>\3<blockquote>

Making sure that there's a question,

1. Are required?
2. What would be the correct RegEx to use so as to avoid the error messages?
