Blockquote

This chapter discusses how to use blockquotes effectively and their ability to add emphasis and context to text.

A blockquote should be used for a large quote from another source. It can make the quote stand out from the rest of the text. Make sure to provide a citation to the source.

“If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love. He didn't realize that love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves its own mark. Not a scar, no visible sign… to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever. It is in your very own skin” (Rowling, 241).
