There is a indent button that can be used instead of blockquote. There is a discussion of adding blockquote to styles in MDL-45662.
indent?
That indent button just adds some inline css (how very 2002!)
Looking for an actual semantic blockquote tag that inherits blockquote styling from the site css.
Hello Stuart,
Some people apparently liked 2002. I believe it was the Year of the Outback.
Could you elaborate more why blockquote would be preferred? There seems to do be some question whether it is necessary.
I believe Stuart's point is that adding a blockquote tag rather than inline style would more easily allow the theme to style the blockquote as required - whether that is a simple indent, or something more styled.
Is it necessary? maybe, maybe not.
Is it preferable to allow the theme to style these features rather than set inline styles? certainly.
