Thanks for pointing that out Jeremy. I had to guess on BLOCKQUOTE. I saw it
referred to only in one place, the following suggestion by Todd Lehman:

   http://www.lugnet.com/faq/?n=194

and I assumed that it would be okay to use BLOCKQUOTE because there's no other
easy way to do block quotes in HTML. But if you want, just take all the
BLOCKQUOTE and /BLOCKQUOTE tags out and the result should still format well,
although the URLs and maxims will no longer be indented.

I tried to get more information about the use of BLOCKQUOTE, but was frustrated
by the Lugnet search engine's refusal to locate the above message when
BLOCKQUOTE was searched for. I have submitted a question about this to
lugnet.admin.general: http://www.lugnet.com/admin/general/?n=2220

(...) I haven't gone through all of them, but what I've seen so far has been really good. Thanks again! One issue (and this may be a non-issue) is the usage of <BLOCKQUOTE> -- has there been a consensus on the list of usable HTML tags? Cheers, - (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jul-99, to lugnet.faq)
