Template:Blockquote paragraphs

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 Template:Em solution for this is to use unbroken markup with <p>...</p> or <br /> elements:

Template:Tnull

Which results in:

{{#invoke:Template translation|renderTranslatedTemplate|template=Template:Navbar|noshift=1}}

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

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.}}

Result of either:

{{#invoke:documentation|main|_content={{ {{#invoke:documentation|contentTitle}}}}}}
