Hi,

currently you can use only one paragraph inside blockquotes, because if you use for example 2 paragraphs, then you will have 4 quotes. So you can create paragraphs only with <br> tags.

I suggest a better CSS snippet:

blockquote {
    background: transparent url(images/open-quote.gif) left top no-repeat;
}

blockquote div {
    padding: 0 15px;
    background: transparent url(images/close-quote.gif) right bottom no-repeat;
}

And this is even shorter, and cleaner! If you use this snippet, make sure you create a div container inside each blockquotes. (this is even a requirement because the theme is XHTML Strict, so you cannot just type text right away inside blockquotes.)

Now this is possible to create multiple paragraphs inside a blockquote:

<blockquote>
   <div><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Sed at erat. Nam vulputate pretium nibh. In sed purus.</p>

  <p>Quisque ullamcorper lectus. Nulla a leo. Mauris sed est. Aliquam tempor, dui vel molestie bibendum, lacus massa ornare mi, sed adipiscing mi purus sed mauris.</p></div>
</blockquote>

Most WYSIWYG editors apply the

tag by default when you start typing inside of a blockquote. If you want to style your blockquotes differently, be my guest, but I'm not going against the standard for 1 particular request.

Please use breaks, or possibly add additional CSS that will take care of your specific use case to the theme.
