When styling the <blockquote> tag for a template, d'you think it's better to assume the template user will use a <p> tag inside the blockquote, or that they won't? Styling for both can get tricky, and really mess up the fine tuned look if the user doesn't follow the CSS rules.

I don't think they would, however there is a possibility, which is why I don't code <blockquote> tags or <p> tags in general.

blockquote and p tags are used in different ways.
blockquote is used when you want to write a long quote. You can include p tags within it. p paragraph tag, used when you want to write a paragraph. You can used blockquote within it. Note: This is according to XHTML. |

@Mike fair enough.
@Fawaz I know the differences and what they do (been at this a few years...), but sometimes <p> is used withing <blockquote> to create a certain effect and that's what some people get used to, while others simply use <blockquote>. |

Well, I guess if you want, just code both tags and leave instructions and such in the description of the layout so that user knows what to do and if they don't do it, well, that's their problem.

If you want you can just add CSSand make them react and look the same way, so whether the user use a p or blockquote it won't have a difference.
