Blockquote surrounded by paragraph Options

[nightoul]

How would you resolve the following? I want to put up an essay where there is a blockquote surrounded by a normal paragraph. This is how it looks in Word:

However, the very thing that I need in this situation, that is, to nest a blockquote inside a paragraph, is not allowed. I understand that it's not logical to nest a paragraph inside a paragraph, but why not a blockquote?
How would you resolve this? Would you nest a blockquote inside a section instead of a paragraph?
Thank you!

I understand that it's not logical to nest a paragraph inside a paragraph, but why not a blockquote?

My guess is that it's because the BLOCKQUOTE element itself may contain P elements.

How would you resolve this? Would you nest a blockquote inside a section instead of a paragraph?

The last example at https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/REC-html5-201410...ckquote-element suggests ending the P element when the BLOCKQUOTE begins, and the begin a new P after:

CODE

<p>He began his list of "lessons" with the following:</p>
<blockquote>One should never assume that his side of
the issue will be recognized, let alone that it will
be conceded to have merits.</blockquote>
<p>He continued with a number of similar points, ending with:</p>
<blockquote>Finally, one should be prepared for the threat
of breakdown in negotiations at any given moment and not
be cowed by the possibility.</blockquote>
<p>We shall now discuss these points...

Also, from the context and purely linguistical, I don't think all that text should be one para anyway. Isn't it pretty natural and logical that the explanation after the quote is a new paragraph?

They taught us at the faculty not to make the "explaining paragraph" a new paragraph But yes, why not just make it a new para. Is there a way afterwards to add an expection to only this one paragraph when I will indent all of the paragraphs with CSS?
Sorry if it's easy, I'm just starting with HTML.

Did the teacher explicitly require BLOCKQUOTE for the quotation? Another idea might be to use the inline Q element in one large paragraph, then style the Q with CSS to look like a block quote. Not sure if the length of your quoted text warrants a Q or a BLOCKQUOTE though.
