Add other formatting (font-size, text-align, text-indent) to the def to taste.
Div will work equally with raw text or child tags.
Often blockquote tags are used not for actual quotes, but as a way to add margins to e.g. a dedication. Bad form generally, but it will work even if CSS is ignored. |
A blockquote should not be replaced with a div. It should be left alone. It's much better code. I replace the divs with blockquotes.
