Revision as of 15:27, 26 January 2013
Due to the utterly intractable MediaWiki bug reported at Template:Bugzilla, and still unfixed Template:As of, block quoting on Wikipedia, with or without a template, cannot handle freeform linebreaking for paragraphs and poems and the like, unless formatted one very specific (and annoying) way. It's not a problem of blockquote templates, but all uses of <blockquote>.
The intuitive choice:
{{bq|Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4}}
results in the mangled:
Blank lines seem to work at first:
{{bq|Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4}}
though with quite tall spacing between the content blocks (lines, in our test cases):
Yet this markup fails with wiki ":" indentation:
Just trying to use <p>...</p> or <br /> markup won't solve all the problems:
{{bq|Line 1<br/>
Line 2<br/>
Line 3<br/>
Line 4}}
results in odd spacing, with the middle blocks too close together:
Meanwhile this version seems okay at first:
{{bq|<p>Line 1</p>
<p>Line 2</p>
<p>Line 3</p>
<p>Line 4</p>}}
but again can't be indented:
Template:As of, the Template:Em solution for the problem is to use Template:Em with <p>...</p> or <br /> elements (or others, like nested blockquotes and lists):
which, while hard to read, especially for long content, results in the expected:
And it Template:Em work with wikimarkup ":" indentation, unlike the failed test cases above:
Happily, there is an HTML-comment workaround for readability that lets you do whatever you want:
{{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.}}
which results in the expected:
They Template:Em indentable:
{{#invoke:documentation|main|_content={{ {{#invoke:documentation|contentTitle}}}}}}
