RE: Using the block quote for magazine-style pull quotes

Oh I see sorry, so still a <blockquote> but within an aside!

Thanks Patrick! I think it's misleading in Monsido because the pass example does have a cite attribute and the fail example doesn't!

However, does that mean we should still use an <aside> over a <blockquote> because the copy is pulled out of the main content itself? The block quote places everything in the main body of copy, so it's not sitting in a little coloured side panel or anything.

Kind regards
Louise

<blockquote> inside an <aside>

Also, for what it's worth, <blockquote> doesn't require a cite attribute. It's perfectly valid without it. If Monsido flags this as a hard failure (of something?) then it's wrong (or very opinionated).
