This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-blockquote-element Comment: Examples show p element inside blockquote element. But can a blockquote element contained flowed content (i.e. no other element at all inside and just plain text)? If it can, the specification should mention why it chooses the former, and if it is a recommendation. Posted from: 114.22.31.143
The content model seems to be adequately and precisely defined. Is it unclear? The examples are just examples, there's not really any particular reason they were done one way or the other. If you have a good example of a blockquote that doesn't have multiple paragraphs, then let me know and I'll be happy to add it to the spec.
