Due to the utterly intractable MediaWiki bug reported at Template:Bugzilla, block quoting cannot handle freeform linebreaking for paragraphs and poems and the like.
The problem in action:
- {{bq|Line 1<br/>
- Line 2<br/>
- Line 3<br/>
Line 4.}}
Which results in the expected: Template:Bq
The Template:Em solution for this is to use unbroken markup with <p>...</p> or <br /> elements:
Which results in:
However there is an HTML-comment workaround for readability that lets you do whatever you want, and is even indentable with *, : and # markup:
{{bq|1=<!--
-->Line 1<br/><!--
-->Line 2<br/><!--
-->Line 3<br/><!--
-->Line 4.}}
Or even:
{{bq|1=<!--
-->Line 1<br/><!--
-->Line 2<br/><!--
-->Line 3<br/><!--
-->Line 4.}}
Either which results in the expected:
Template:Bq {{#invoke:documentation|main|_content={{ {{#invoke:documentation|contentTitle}}}}}}
