Re: [orca-list] Blockquotes?

[Erik Heil <eheil sdf lonestar org>]

Hi.  Block quotes are used to indicate sections of a site that may have
been copied from other sites.  Hope that makes sense.  The reason why they
were added is that often, their are sometimes points of a site--navbars,
etc. which need to be skipped and you may just want to get the content
that matters.  This by far is not a new feature at all--commercial screen
readers for Windows indicate block quotes--usually its a setting which is
configurable.  Hope this helps.
