To resolve this, use the {{xtag|poem}} tag inside {{tag|blockquote|o}}:
An easy solution is to use the {{tl|poem quote}} template instead of {{tag|blockquote}}. This is effectively the same as using the {{xtag|poem}} tag inside {{code|lang=html|code=<blockquote>}}, which converts line breaks to {{code|lang=html|code=<br />}} tags:
{{markup
{{markup
|<nowiki><blockquote><poem>
|<syntaxhighlight lang="html">
<blockquote><poem>

</syntaxhighlight>

Line 30: Line 36:
Line 4

</poem></blockquote>
}}<noinclude>

To markup actual paragraphs within block quotations, entire blank lines can be used between them, which will convert to {{code|lang=html|code=<p>...</p>}} tags:
 
{{markup
|<syntaxhighlight lang="html">

Paragraph 1
 
Paragraph 2
 
Paragraph 3

</syntaxhighlight>
|<blockquote>
Paragraph 1
 
Paragraph 2
 
Paragraph 3

}}
 
Note that it may be necessary to put a line break in the wikitext before <nowiki><blockquote> and after </blockquote></nowiki> in order for the paragraphs to render with the intended separation. (This also makes the wikitext easier to read.)
 
This paragraph style also works with {{tl|blockquote}}, which is a replacement for {{xtag|blockquote}} that also has parameters to make formatting of the attribution more convenient and consistent.
 
Blockquote and templates that call it, and are indented with colon (:), bulleted with asterisk (*), or numbered with number (#), will generate errors and incorrectly display anything after a newline character.

(This section is transcluded from Template:Blockquote paragraphs)

The <syntaxhighlight lang="html" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">

</syntaxhighlight> element and any templates that use it do not honor newlines:

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

An easy solution is to use the {{poem quote}} template instead of <blockquote>...</blockquote>. This is effectively the same as using the <poem> tag inside <syntaxhighlight lang="html" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">

</syntaxhighlight>, which converts line breaks to <syntaxhighlight lang="html" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">
</syntaxhighlight> tags:

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

To markup actual paragraphs within block quotations, entire blank lines can be used between them, which will convert to <syntaxhighlight lang="html" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">

...

</syntaxhighlight> tags:

Markup Renders as
<blockquote>
Paragraph 1

Paragraph 2

Paragraph 3
</blockquote>

Note that it may be necessary to put a line break in the wikitext before <blockquote> and after </blockquote> in order for the paragraphs to render with the intended separation. (This also makes the wikitext easier to read.)

This paragraph style also works with {{blockquote}}, which is a replacement for <blockquote> that also has parameters to make formatting of the attribution more convenient and consistent.

Blockquote and templates that call it, and are indented with colon (:), bulleted with asterisk (*), or numbered with number (#), will generate errors and incorrectly display anything after a newline character.
