The cite element, or “How to mark-up a quote.”
It’s been a long time since I remember someone talking about the cite element. It’s my favorite HTML element…
So, lets revisit:
Valid examples of the element:
<blockquote cite="http://yourreferencesite.com" title="Article, title, author, date">
<p>This is one paragraph</p>
<p>Yet another paragraph</p>
<p>Says: Your Source<a href=”http://yourreference.com”><cite>Your source:</cite>
</blockquote>
Aside: technically shouldn’t forum software use something like:
<dt id="n33"><cite><a href="/profile/">Author Name</a></cite><br /><strong>12.12.12 00-00-00</strong><br /><em>Title</em></dt>
<dd>
<blockquote cite=”#n33″>
<p>comment goes here</p>
</blockquote>
<p><small>Forum signature</small></p>
</dd>
