Understanding the <blockquote> Tag in HTML
The <blockquote> tag is used to represent a section of text quoted from another source. It is typically displayed as an indented block of text by default.
Tag Syntax:
<blockquote cite="https://example.com">
Quoted text from another source.
</blockquote>
The optional cite attribute can specify the source URL of the quote.
Common Uses:
- Quoting content from books, articles, or websites
- Citing references in academic content
- Structuring interviews or testimonials
Tip:
Use <q> for short, inline quotes and <blockquote> for long, block-level quotations.
Example:
<blockquote cite="https://www.wpdevelopertips.com">
Learning HTML is the foundation of all web development.
</blockquote>
