Template:Poem quote
Template:High-use A template for quoting poems, song lyrics, and other things that have frequent line breaks and other things that would generally be ignored in standard wiki formatting. Based on {{Blockquote}}; see there for further usage details.
Example
[edit]Compare with {{Blockquote}}: Template:Markup
Note that while the version above using {{Blockquote}} may appear to work in some browsers, it does not do so consistently in all of them. Use Template:Tag – or a template like {{Poem quote}} that implements it – around material that requires that whitespace formatting be preserved as in the original, such as poems and interlinear glosses. Due to limitations of how MediaWiki parses wikimarkup and HTML, attempts to do this by just inserting blank lines and extra spaces will not work. This is true of all block elements.
(Technical note: Although {{Poem quote}} uses the Tag:#poem markup rather than using Template:Tag, it is functionally the same.)
