-===== Block Quotations =====
-Unlike an inline (or in-text) quotations, which are integrated into the text, a **block quotation is a longer quotation __from another source__ set off from surrounding text by paragraph breaks**. These should be tagged using the **Blockquote (DAISY) style**.
-Block quotations are commonly seen as quotations in epigraphs, books reviews or endorsements, and as long quotations taken from other sources within the body of the text. Block quotations may have an author associated with the quotation, which should be marked using the **Author (DAISY) style**.
-Text-to-speech software will usually declare ''Quote'' and ''End Quote'' before and after reading text marked up as block quotations.
-<note tip>If there are multiple quotations in a row, like in a book reviews or endorsements section, it is important to select and apply the Blockquote (DAISY) style **to each quote separately**.  In this way each quote will be translated into a separate quote rather than the whole section being marked up as a single quote.
