I learn on July 18-22

This week I learned Black quote and we are making are own website.

The <blockquote> tag defines a long quotation.
A browser inserts white space before and after a blockquote element. It also insert margins for the blockquote element.
How and When to use block quotes:
  • Use block quotes whenever your quote exceeds four lines of text
  • Below is an example of INCORRECT MLA formatting
In Book Two of Christian Doctrine Milton explains that the general category of virtue (he differentiates between general and specific categories of virtue), which “are relevant to the whole duty of man” (CE xvii. 27) are comprised of understanding and will. Why should memory be the discarded component? Ignatian meditations employ memory to dramatize a biblical event in one’s imagination. If the object of meditation is the Nativity, the retreatant places himself at the scene: he sees the baby Jesus, hears the animals surrounding the manger, and uses all his senses to recreate the event in his imagination, thus becoming a part of the biblical scene.  The first stage of the meditative process focuses on the event itself as opposed to scripture, which for Milton problematizes memory.  Further, evidence suggests that Milton understood exactly what it meant to retreat, Ignatian-style, into the inner self for private imaginings:  “It is better therefore to contemplate the Deity, and to conceive of him, not with reference to human passions, that is, after the manner of men, who are never weary of forming subtle imaginations respecting him,  but  after the manner of Scripture, that is, in the way wherein God  has  offered himself  to our contemplation; . . .” (CE xiv. 33).
          Who are these ambiguous men who “never weary of forming subtle imaginations”? St.Ignatius Loyola? St. Bernard of Clairvaux? St. Bonaventure? Or any and every one of a hundred other Catholics whose meditative treatises flooded England, their works churned out through secret presses? Milton’s reference to never wearying men not only suggests his awareness of Ignatian treatises, but the very specific nature of his remark on “subtle imaginations” (CE xiv. 33), increases the likelihood that he did not record in his Commonplace Book his readings of at least some of these texts.

·        And here is the same text in properly formatted MLA style
