'''Ashikaga''' (足利市; -shi) is a [[cities of Japan|city]] located in [[Tochigi Prefecture]], [[Japan]].

In [[HTML]] and [[XHTML]], the '''<code>blockquote</code>''' [[HTML element|element]] defines a [[block-quote|block quotation]] within the text. The syntax is <code>&lt;blockquote&gt;blockquoted text goes here&lt;/blockquote&gt;</code>.

As of [[2003]], the city has an estimated [[population]] of 161,259 and the [[population density|density]] of 906.87 persons per [[square kilometer|km&sup2;]]. The total area is 177.82 km&sup2;.

The '''<code>blockquote</code>''' element is used to indicate the quotation of a large section of text from another source. Using the default HTML styling of most web browsers, it will indent the right and left margins both on the display and in printed form.

During the [[Heian Period]], Ashikaga was developed by [[Minamoto no Yoshikuni]], whose descendants later became the [[Ashikaga clan]].

It should be noted that in many [[Wiki]] [[Wikitext|markup languages]], this is different from the use of an initial colon in a paragraph, which may be translated into an HTML <code>dd</code> element enclosed within a <code>dl</code> element. (That is a 'data definition' within a 'definition list', without there being any preceding 'data term' or <code>dt</code> element). Other [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] techniques may alternatively be applied. In any case, the intention is usually only to indent the left margin.

The city was founded on [[January 1]], [[1921]].
