Hi Cole,
Blockquote for sure, and like Alan suggest, make use of
normal tags inside.
And let me give you a nice trick to insert language
specific quotemarks :
If you declare the language in your HTML tag
like <html lang="fr-ca" ...> you can define inside
your CSS what kind of quote mark to insert before and after
your blockquote, so then you do not have to manually insert those quote
marks and forget about them :)
blockquote:lang(fr-ca) { quotes: " «" " »" " <" " >"; } blockquote:before { content: open-quote; } blockquote:after { content: close-quote; } As you can see an exemple at http://www.echo3d.com/faq/ Later,

I'm working on a site that contains 1 boxed quote per page. By
boxed, I mean there's a red border that encloses the quote.
These aren't famouse quotes - or anything particulary special
- just quotes from people who have read the pre-release of a new
book.
So, semantically speaking, should I be using Blockquote or Q
tags?
I don't think Cite is appropriate, and I'm not sure about Q
either as I've read that Q should be used for quotations within a block of
inline text.
I'm leaning toward blockquote (stripping the indention via
css), but I wanted to throw this question out and see if anyone had a strong
opinion about this matter as it pertains to this particular
project.
Sample test page is here: http://www.x7m.us/_clients/danielik/dev/testing/index.htm
Thanks to all in advance,
Cole
