# Block Quote

Text Boxes have an option to display as a block quote. This offers the benefits of:

- Designs can supply custom styling/formatting to make it clear that the text is a quote
- Sandvox generates the correct `<blockquote>` HTML, so, for example, screen readers can understand the nature of the text

To create a new Block Quote:

1. From the "Objects" toolbar item, select "Block Quote."
2. Double-click the quote to begin editing it.

To turn an existing Text Box into a Block Quote:

1. Select the Text Box.
2. Open the Object Inspector.
3. Check the "Block Quote" box.
