How does one use the quote function?

Question

I've been trying, but the "blockquote" thing never turns into the well-known quote box in the text sample. How do you use this function exactly?

Answer 1

This is a blockquote

Click "Edit" for this post a look at this. You'll understand it at once.

Each line of a blockquote begins with a "greater-than" sign ">"

For multiple paragraphs, be sure every line starts with ">".
