What feature should be changed? Please provide the URL of the feature if possible. ================================================================================== Blockquotes seem to be a bit understyled. As an example, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Apps/Build/installable_apps/Icon_implementation_for_apps#Tizen We could do with styling to make it a bit more obvious what they are, for example slightly larger, italicized text, and a quote mark inserted after each blockquote using :after. Something like this perhaps: http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/simple-and-nice-blockquote-styling/ What problems would this solve? =============================== more obvious blockquotes Who would use this? =================== MDN editors/writers What would users see? ===================== Nicer block quotes What would users do? What would happen as a result? =================================================== Slightly nicer reading. Is there anything else we should know? ====================================== Nope.

I'm curious: what do you plan to use these for. I never felt the urge to use one in the last 3 years.
You certainly don't use blockquotes very often in reference pages, but in guides/tutorials, you sometimes want to quote some advice or a pertinent point from another source.
Oh yes, good point. :-)

We should stick a bit of a background color on these at a minimum.
