Awhile back I looked into why my blockquotes at http://www.xmission.com/~wake/section26.html weren't validating, and it appeared
it was because they were imbedded in paragraphs, and shouldn't have been since
apparently that's a block level element inside another block level element. Now
I've separated them out separately, and the validator still tells me that's
wrong. Is there a nutshell description of how to do blockquotes correctly?
(Apart from the W3 standard itself, which isn't written for the layperson.)
Thanks. 4  1624

Which doctype are you validating against? If it's a strict doctype then
blockquotes can not contain bare text but must contain block level
containers.
e.g. <blockquote><p> quoted paragraph one</p><p>quoted paragraph
two</p></blockquote>

At the moment they would seem not to validate because the page
is 404.

Oops. http://www.xmission.com/~wake/section27.html (not section 26). The
paragraph tags going inside the blockquotes isn't something I did.

You're using XHTML 1.0 Strict. BLOCKQUOTE elements can contain only
block-level elements, so you need to wrap your inline content in a
block-level element.

Hi,
I am going to make a forum using PHP. However, I have a very simple question
to begin with. Is it at all possible to create input fields where users can
type their messages using italic, bold, blockquotes, and the like? So far I
have never witnessed it, my webmail client, for instance, only allows me to
write plain text in the "new e-mail" input form. And blogger, for instance,
does allow you to enter text in bold and italics, but...

Greetings.
Do any popular browsers correctly support <q>, at least for Western
languages? I've noticed that Mozilla uses the standard English
double-quote character, ", regardless of the lang attribute of the HTML
document. Will any browsers render German-style quotes or French-style
guillemots for lang="de" and lang="fr", respectively?

http://www.web-ho.com/blog/test.html is a model to illustrate the

As can be seen by adjusting the window width so that the second paragraph
is partly to the right of, and partly below the image, the gray bar hides
partially under the image, it is not pushed to the right with the text...
