Due to the utterly intractable [[MediaWiki]] bug reported at {{bugzilla|6200}}, block quoting cannot handle freeform linebreaking for paragraphs and poems and the like. The {{em|only}} solution for this is to use unbroken markup with {{tag|p}} or {{tag|br|single}} elements:
''(This section is transcluded from [[Template:Blockquote paragraphs]])''
:{{tnull|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|Line 1<br/>Line 2<br/>Line 3<br/>Line 4.}}
<div style="float: right; padding: 0 1em;">{{navbar|Blockquote paragraphs|plain=y}}</div>
Which results in:
The {{code|lang=html|code=<blockquote>}} element and any templates that use it do not honor newlines:
:{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|Line 1<br/>Line 2<br/>Line 3<br/>Line 4.}}
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="html">
⚫
<blockquote>
⚫
Line 1
⚫
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
⚫
</blockquote>
</syntaxhighlight>
⚫
|<blockquote>
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
⚫
</blockquote>
}}


An easy solution is to use the {{tl|poemquote}} template instead of {{xtag|blockquote}}. This is effectively the same as using the {{xtag|poem}} tag inside {{code|lang=html|code=<blockquote>}}, which converts line breaks to {{code|lang=html|code=<br />}} tags:
However there is an HTML-comment workaround for readability that lets you do whatever you want, and is even indentable with <code>*, : and #</code> markup:
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="html">
<blockquote><poem>
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
</poem></blockquote>
</syntaxhighlight>
|<blockquote><poem>
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
</poem></blockquote>
}}


To markup actual paragraphs within block quotations, entire blank lines can be used between them, which will convert to {{code|lang=html|code=<p>...</p>}} tags:
⚫
<blockquote><code><nowiki>
{{</nowiki><includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|1=&lt;!--<br />
-->Line 1&lt;br/>&lt;!--<br />
-->Line 2&lt;br/>&lt;!--<br />
-->Line 3&lt;br/>&lt;!--<br />
⚫
-->Line 4.}}
⚫
</code></blockquote>


{{markup
Or even:
|<syntaxhighlight lang="html">
<blockquote>
Paragraph 1


Paragraph 2
⚫
<blockquote><code><nowiki>
{{</nowiki><includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|1=&lt;!--<br />
<br />
-->Line 1&lt;br/>&lt;!--<br />
<br />
-->Line 2&lt;br/>&lt;!--<br />
<br />
-->Line 3&lt;br/>&lt;!--<br />
<br />
⚫
-->Line 4.}}
⚫
</code></blockquote>


Paragraph 3
Result of either:
</blockquote>
</syntaxhighlight>
|<blockquote>
Paragraph 1


Paragraph 2
{{<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|1=<!--


Paragraph 3
-->Line 1<br/><!--
</blockquote>
}}


This paragraph style also works with {{tl|quote}}, which is a replacement for {{xtag|blockquote}} that also has parameters to make formatting of the attribution more conveniently and consistently.

(This section is transcluded from Template:Blockquote paragraphs)

The <blockquote> element and any templates that use it do not honor newlines:

Markup Renders as 
<blockquote>
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
</blockquote>

Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Line 4

An easy solution is to use the {{poemquote}} template instead of <tag>. This is effectively the same as using the <poem> tag inside <blockquote>, which converts line breaks to <br /> tags:

Markup Renders as 
<blockquote><poem>
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
</poem></blockquote>

<poem>

Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Line 4

</poem>

To markup actual paragraphs within block quotations, entire blank lines can be used between them, which will convert to <p>...</p> tags:

Markup Renders as 
<blockquote>
Paragraph 1

Paragraph 2

Paragraph 3
</blockquote>

Paragraph 1

Paragraph 2

Paragraph 3

This paragraph style also works with {{quote}}, which is a replacement for <tag> that also has parameters to make formatting of the attribution more conveniently and consistently.
