blockquote tag
cite tag
pre tag
TAG: q
<q> ... </q>
Available in versions: 4.0
Browser compatibility: Netscape 6
The
<q>
tag takes the selected block of text and displays it as a quote which is enclosed by a pair of double quotes. Unlike the
blockquote
tag, the
q
quote is not preceded or followed by paragraph breaks. So the quote remains inline. You may still need to use other HTML tags to effect the textual display and appearance that you desire.
Since this tag is poorly supported, you should simply use quotation marks.
It is recommended that you use the
blockquote
tag for long citations and the
cite
tag for short citations.
The closing tag is mandatory.
