Due to the utterly intractable [[MediaWiki]] bug reported at {{bugzilla|6200}}, block quoting cannot handle freeform linebreaking for paragraphs and poems and the like. The {{em|only}} solution for this is to use unbroken markup with {{tag|p}} or {{tag|br|single}} elements:
+
<div style="float: right; padding: 0 1em;">{{navbar|Blockquote paragraphs|plain=y}}</div>
−
:{{tnull|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|Line 1&lt;br/>Line 2&lt;br/>Line 3&lt;br/>Line 4.}}
+
The {{tag|blockquote|o}} element and any templates that use it do not honor newlines:
−
Which results in:
+
{{markup
−
:{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|Line 1<br/>Line 2<br/>Line 3<br/>Line 4.}}
+
|<nowiki><blockquote>
 +
Line 1
 +
Line 2
 +
Line 3
 +
Line 4
 +
</blockquote></nowiki>
 +
|<blockquote>
 +
Line 1
 +
Line 2
 +
Line 3
 +
Line 4
 +
</blockquote>
 +
}}

However there is an HTML-comment workaround for readability that lets you do whatever you want, and is even indentable with <code>*, : and #</code> markup:
+
To resolve this, use the {{xtag|poem}} tag inside {{tag|blockquote|o}}:
 +
{{markup
 +
|<nowiki><blockquote><poem>
 +
Line 1
 +
Line 2
 +
Line 3
 +
Line 4
 +
</poem></blockquote></nowiki>
 +
|<blockquote><poem>
 +
Line 1
 +
Line 2
 +
Line 3
 +
Line 4
 +
</poem></blockquote>
 +
}}<noinclude>

<blockquote><code><nowiki>
+
{{Documentation}}
−
{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}|1=&lt;!--<br />
 
−
-->Line 1&lt;br/>&lt;!--<br />
 
−
-->Line 2&lt;br/>&lt;!--<br />
 
−
-->Line 3&lt;br/>&lt;!--<br />
 
−
-->Line 4.}}
 
−
</code></blockquote>

Or even:
 
−
 
 
−
<blockquote><code><nowiki>
 
−
{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}|1=&lt;!--<br />
 
−
<br />
 
−
-->Line 1&lt;br/>&lt;!--<br />

<br />
 
−
-->Line 2&lt;br/>&lt;!--<br />

−
-->Line 3&lt;br/>&lt;!--<br />
 
−
<br />
 
−
-->Line 4.}}

</code></blockquote>

Result of either:
 
−
 
 
−
{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|1=<!--

−
-->Line 1<br/><!--

−
-->Line 2<br/><!--

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

To resolve this, use the <poem > tag inside <blockquote>:

Markup Renders as
<blockquote><poem>
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
</poem></blockquote>

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
