                     The page may contain quotations (references to comments made by an outside source) that are not properly coded in HTML.
                     	 
                  </p>

            <tr>
               <td colspan="2" class="clearseparation">&nbsp;</td>

            <tr>
               <td valign="top" colspan="2" class="description"><b>How to check</b>
                  
                  
                  <p>
                     Check if the page contains quotations (i.e. references comments made by an outside source). If so, ensure that they are correctly
                     marked up in HTML with
                     BLOCKQUOTE or with Q elements. A better option would be if the formatting
                     properties are specified with CSS rules.
                     	 
                  </p>
                  
                  
                  <p>
                     Use the BLOCKQUOTE element to mark up a long quotation (one or
                     more paragraphs long). Use the Q element to quote a
                     shorter sentence. (BLOCKQUOTE is a block-level tag; Q is an
                     inline-level tag.)
                     
                  </p>
                  
                  
               </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
               <td colspan="2" class="clearseparation">&nbsp;</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
               <td colspan="2" class="clearseparation">&nbsp;</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
               <td valign="top" colspan="2" class="description"><b>Issue Explanation</b><br>
                  
                  
                  <p>
                     Appropriate markup of quotations is useful for website visitors using
                     screen readers or reading browsers because the browser may use a
                     different voice or a different pitch when reading the quotations.
                     	 
                  </p>
                  
                  <p>
                     In this way the listener is able to perceive the difference in the
                     discourse.
                     
                  </p>
                  
                  
               </td>
