Describe the bug
'Block quote' appears to be a style in use for visual formatting and not to convey actual quoted text

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. https://openfl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
  2. start a screenreader
  3. Read full page content

Notice: overuse of ‘block quote’ for what appears to be formatting / positioning purposes and not actual quotation of something….

Expected behavior
Screenreader user shouldn't hear about formatting in use unless they use functionality of the screenreader to discover such

This appears to be an issue with the Read The Docs platform. blockquote elements are being used to visually indent content rather than for their intended use. There are other ways to do document code samples, for example: the HTML Living Standard suggests using the figure element.
