Term: blockquote

Description:

A blockquote is an HTML element used for indicating that the enclosed text is a quotation from another source. It is commonly used to emphasize quotes and make them stand out visually on a webpage. The content within a blockquote is usually indented and styled differently to differentiate it from the rest of the text.

Senses and Usages:

The

element is used to enclose a section of quoted text within an HTML document. It provides visual cues to readers that the text is a quotation, typically by adding indentation and different styling.

Example Usage:

2. Styling:

In web design, blockquote can also refer to a style or CSS class that is used to create a blockquote-like appearance even without using the actual HTML element.
