The more I learn the more I find that I don't know

very much.

When I was young, so many things seemed so obvious, and there was no need to question them.

Then I found that there were experts who had studied things in depth. I mean, really in depth.

Then I began to question how much I really knew...

The other day, I wanted to explain something to someone, so to make sure I got it right, I went to the Wikipedia article... and found that it was MUCH more complicated than I thought!


As an aside...

The use of the <blockquote> tag is problematic. The tag always inserts an extra line before it and after it.

Let me give you some examples.

If you put:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean varius, velit quis blandit consequat, dolor ipsum ultrices metus, sed consequat mauris nisl a nisi. In nec malesuada enim, non tristique velit.
<blockquote>
Donec malesuada turpis nec enim blandit, id cursus ligula ultricies. Mauris ut augue luctus, iaculis odio nec, sodales orci. Suspendisse potenti. Donec eros urna, rhoncus et convallis at, vestibulum a elit. Duis eu pretium nisi, nec cursus quam. Donec eget erat nec nulla ullamcorper pretium at sed ipsum. Nunc ipsum tortor, volutpat quis nunc non, molestie faucibus orci. Quisque non molestie felis. Nullam eu velit sem.
<blockquote>
In at dignissim velit, ut tempus arcu. Nunc vehicula efficitur urna et iaculis. Mauris rutrum arcu orci. Cras turpis est, pharetra sit amet ex et, tristique accumsan erat. Curabitur convallis, sem ac dictum viverra, enim leo tristique orci, id sagittis metus quam interdum risus. Sed maximus risus in augue hendrerit, quis fringilla arcu sollicitudin. Integer suscipit ligula ac laoreet vulputate.

Then you get:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean varius, velit quis blandit consequat, dolor ipsum ultrices metus, sed consequat mauris nisl a nisi. In nec malesuada enim, non tristique velit.

Donec malesuada turpis nec enim blandit, id cursus ligula ultricies. Mauris ut augue luctus, iaculis odio nec, sodales orci. Suspendisse potenti. Donec eros urna, rhoncus et convallis at, vestibulum a elit. Duis eu pretium nisi, nec cursus quam. Donec eget erat nec nulla ullamcorper pretium at sed ipsum. Nunc ipsum tortor, volutpat quis nunc non, molestie faucibus orci. Quisque non molestie felis. Nullam eu velit sem.

In at dignissim velit, ut tempus arcu. Nunc vehicula efficitur urna et iaculis. Mauris rutrum arcu orci. Cras turpis est, pharetra sit amet ex et, tristique accumsan erat. Curabitur convallis, sem ac dictum viverra, enim leo tristique orci, id sagittis metus quam interdum risus. Sed maximus risus in augue hendrerit, quis fringilla arcu sollicitudin. Integer suscipit ligula ac laoreet vulputate.

If you put:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean varius, velit quis blandit consequat, dolor ipsum ultrices metus, sed consequat mauris nisl a nisi. In nec malesuada enim, non tristique velit.<blockquote>Donec malesuada turpis nec enim blandit, id cursus ligula ultricies. Mauris ut augue luctus, iaculis odio nec, sodales orci. Suspendisse potenti. Donec eros urna, rhoncus et convallis at, vestibulum a elit. Duis eu pretium nisi, nec cursus quam. Donec eget erat nec nulla ullamcorper pretium at sed ipsum. Nunc ipsum tortor, volutpat quis nunc non, molestie faucibus orci. Quisque non molestie felis. Nullam eu velit sem. </blockquote>In at dignissim velit, ut tempus arcu.

Integer suscipit ligula ac laoreet vulputate.

Then you get:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean varius, velit quis blandit consequat, dolor ipsum ultrices metus, sed consequat mauris nisl a nisi. In nec malesuada enim, non tristique velit.
Donec malesuada turpis nec enim blandit, id cursus ligula ultricies. Mauris ut augue luctus, iaculis odio nec, sodales orci. Suspendisse potenti. Donec eros urna, rhoncus et convallis at, vestibulum a elit. Duis eu pretium nisi, nec cursus quam. Donec eget erat nec nulla ullamcorper pretium at sed ipsum.

Curabitur convallis, sem ac dictum viverra, enim leo tristique orci, id sagittis metus quam interdum risus. Sed maximus risus in augue hendrerit, quis fringilla arcu sollicitudin. Integer suscipit ligula ac laoreet vulputate.

So, to avoid the unnecessary line spaces, be sure that the <blockquote> doesn't occur on a new line.
