Your question is about semantic markup. Either q or blockquote will
render quoted text.
HTML 4.01
Section 9.2.2 Quotations: The BLOCKQUOTE and Q elements
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#edef-Q
The difference being "BLOCKQUOTE is for long quotations (block-level
content) and Q is intended for short quotations (inline content) that
don't require paragraph breaks."

Either text-indent or margin
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#propdef-margin
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/text.html#propdef-text-indent
Note that browser manufacturers will render blockquote with a default
horizontal (left and right) margin.
