Blockquote & Line Break Markups - HTML Text Formating Part 3

In this third part on bbPress posts formatting based on HTML, I will continue with the use of HTML markups & tags,

blockquote tag - quoting text


The <blockquote> tag has the same use that has the [quote] tag in bbCode, it formats the text wrapped by it so that it appears different from the rest of the post; that's usually done to let the reader know the text formatted that way is taken from another post or any other place (a "quoted" text).

The use of the tag is as simple as wrapping the text needed to appear quoted, so that this:

Looks similar to this:

br tag for line-break


In most of cases you won't need the <br> tag, it has no equivalent in bbCode & in HTML it serves to set line breaks in text (going to the next line), in the forums using bbCode you don't need a tag to go to the next line but only to hit "Enter" in your keyboard, in bbPress it's the same & the <br> tag is optional, only in some rare cases you would be driven to use it.

Anyways, here's how it works: the <br> is a unusual tag as it doesn't need to wrap any text & doesn't have an opening & closing parts, only one part that closes itself, like this: <br />, notice the space then the forward slash "/" in the end.

Example:

This part is in the first line<br />and this in the second.

Would look:

This part is in the first line
and this in the second.

In the description box of the forum title, in PHPBB3, it does not recognize HTML nor the "enter" spaces to make the text go further below. So, the need for a BBCODE that performs the
function IS needed.
