### Why is this important?
The `<blockquote>` element tells assistive technologies which content is part of a quotation or citation from another source.
Using the element for indention or formatting only can mislead assistive technology users as to its meaning and purpose.
<!-- This is where the code snippet is injected -->
<div id="locSnippet"></div>
### What to do
* Verify that `<blockquote>` is being used for an actual quotation and correctly uses a `cite` attribute
* **Or**, do not use `<blockquote>` and otherwise use CSS to achieve the desired visual indentation
