HTML Quotations

HTML Quotation and Citation Elements

In this chapter we will go through the <blockquote>, <q>, <abbr>, <address>, <cite>, and <bdo> HTML elements.

HTML <blockquote> for Quotations

The HTML <blockquote> element defines a section that is quoted from another source.

Example

<p>Here is a quote from WWF's website:</p>
<blockquote cite="http://www.worldwildlife.org/who/index.html">
For 50 years, WWF has been protecting the future of nature.
The world's leading conservation organization, WWF works in 100 countries and is supported by 1.2 million members in the United States and close to 5 million globally.
