Correctly formatted text

blessing upon the worship of his ally, though opposed
to his own, for in his letter he writes:

/#
"<sc>Blessed be the Lord God of Israel</sc>,"
#/

and that his actions should be in keeping with his
words, he forthwith entered into a Treaty to build the
first Temple to the ever-living and the only <sc>God</sc> at
Jerusalem.

No-wrap or block quote?

This looks very much like the previous example: it's different from the surrounding text because it's surrounded by white space, and it isn't a heading. When there's only one line, it's often hard to know whether it's wrappable (Block Quote) or not (no-wrap). The (non-universal) consensus is to use no-wrap when you just cannot tell. Often, the surrounding text will help you decide, as it does here: the line just above it says, "in his letter," which suggests prose (wrappable). Also, on the previous page of the project (which is not in these examples), is a two-line quote from the same letter, and it's clearly wrappable prose. So, a Block Quote is appropriate here. If you just can't tell, use no-wrap AND leave a [**note]. Do not leave it unmarked. The quote is in small-caps, so that must be marked, too; and both the comma and the quotation marks go outside the in-line markups.
