Summary
- Do use the blockquote element for long quotations.
- Do not use the blockquote element to apply visual styling alone
- For inline quotations, quotations marks are sufficient.
The Block Quote button on your text editor should be used only for quotations. Most screenreaders will annouce "blockquote" when they come across the blockquote markup, so don't confuse your users by using it for something else.
