The simplest workaround for this is to use the {{xtag|poem}} tag inside {{code|lang=html|code=<blockquote>}}, which will convert line breaks to {{code|lang=html|code=<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">
|<syntaxhighlight lang="html">

}}
}}

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.
