Could we get a "bq" or "q" as an alias for "blockquote"?

    Definitely not "q", because "q" is a real html tag that's currently not allowed but only because the gods think it has poor browser support, so it might be reenabled again when everyone uses browsers that support even all the new HTML 5 tags.

      Well, <code> is a real HTML tag as well, and that didn't stop perlmonks from turning it into something different.
        In this case, I'd say "improved it" rather than "turning it into something different."

        Seems that the w3c 4.01 spec effectively requires a preceding <pre> to achieve what The Monastery does with a simple <code>...</code> or <c>...</c>

        See w3c or http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/phrase/code.html.

    I second this motion. It gets annoying to keep typing the whole word.

    I'm so adjective, I verb nouns!
