This template is to help facilitate the indentation of blocks of content (quotations, computer source code, etc.) with the [[Semantic markup|semantically correct]] {{tag|blockquote}} element, which can also be further styled and given metadata. This method is often preferred to using wikimarkup's ";" indentation (actually an abuse of {{tag|dt}} code), and other means that can cause problems or which are complicated and error-prone, and for [[WP:Accessibility|accessibility]], [[Separation of presentation and content|content/presentation separation]], [[semantic Web]], and [[WP:METADATA|metadata]] reasons; [[[XHTML|X]]][[HTML]]'s {{tag|blockquote|open=y}} element has semantic meaning, while many tricks for indenting do not, or even have incorrect semantics.
