<div style="float:
Due to the utterly intractable [[MediaWiki]] bug reported at {{bugzilla|6200}}, and still unfixed {{as of|February 2012|lc=y}}, block quoting on Wikipedia, with or without a template, cannot handle freeform linebreaking for paragraphs and poems and the like, unless formatted one very specific (and annoying) way. It's not a problem of blockquote templates, but all uses of {{tag|blockquote|open}}.
Line 5:
The intuitive choice:
<blockquote><code><nowiki>{{</nowiki><includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4}}</code></blockquote>
Line 19:
Blank lines seem to work at first:
<blockquote><code><nowiki>{{</nowiki><includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|Line 1
<br />
Line 2
<br />
Line 3
<br />
Line 4}}</code></blockquote>
Line 37:
Line 4}}
Yet this markup fails with wiki
:{{<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|Line 1
Line 49:
Just trying to use {{tag|p}} or {{tag|br|single}} markup won't solve all the problems:
<blockquote><code><nowiki>{{</nowiki><includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4}}</code></blockquote>
results in odd spacing, with the middle blocks too close together:
{{<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4}}
Meanwhile this version seems
<blockquote><code><nowiki>{{</nowiki><includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|<p>Line 1</p><br />
Line 73:
<p>Line 4</p>}}
but again can't be indented
:{{<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|<p>Line 1</p>
Line 84:
{{As of|February 2012}}, the {{em|only}} solution for the problem is to use {{em|unbroken markup}} with {{tag|p}} or {{tag|br|single}} elements (or others, like nested blockquotes and lists):
:{{tnull|<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|Line 1
which, while hard to read, especially for long content, results in the expected:
{{<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|Line 1
And it {{em|does}} work with wikimarkup
:{{<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|Line 1
Happily, there is
<blockquote><code><nowiki>
{{</nowiki><includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|1=<!--<br />
-->Line 1
-->Line 2
-->Line 3
-->Line 4.}}
</code></blockquote>
Line 109:
{{</nowiki><includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|1=<!--<br />
<br />
-->Line 1
<br />
-->Line 2
<br />

<br />
-->Line 4.}}
Line 122:
{{<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>bq</noinclude>|1=<!--
-->Line 1
-->Line 2

They {{em|are}}
