Overview of Block Quotes
A "block" is full lines of text, sometimes running for several pages, that looks "different" from other text in the book. It may be in a smaller (or larger) font, have wider margins, be a Hanging Indent, just be preceded and followed by extra white space, or for some other reason require special handling. If the line breaks in that block need to be preserved, we enclose the text in no-wraps, as illustrated in the preceding Category of examples. If the line breaks do not need to be preserved (that is, if the text is "wrappable,") we enclose the text in Block Quotes. The text does not need to be a quotation, despite the term we use here. And sometimes, the "difference" is not obvious. Block Quotes can contain other Block Quotes and no-wraps, but no-wraps cannot contain Block Quotes, because nothing within a no-wrap can be re-wrapped.
Subheadings and chapter summaries
Sub-headings like the one shown here often need to be enclosed in Block Quotes. This one is printed as a Hanging Indent (first line at left margin, other lines indented).
