The simplest workaround for this is to use the {{xtag|poem}} tag inside {{tag|blockquote|o}}, which will convert line breaks to br tags:
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:
{{markup
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="html">
|<nowiki><blockquote><poem>
<blockquote><poem>
Line 1

Line 2

</poem></blockquote></nowiki>
</poem></blockquote>
</syntaxhighlight>
|<blockquote><poem>
|<blockquote><poem>
Line 1
Line 1
Line 30: Line 36:
Line 4
Line 4
</poem></blockquote>
</poem></blockquote>
}}
}}<noinclude>

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:

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

Paragraph 2

Paragraph 3
</blockquote>
</syntaxhighlight>
|<blockquote>
Paragraph 1

Paragraph 2

Paragraph 3
</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.

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:

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.
