HTML Quotation and Citation Elements In this section we will go through the <blockquote>,<q>, <abbr>, <address>, <cite>, and <bdo> HTML elements. Example: Here's a sample quote from my Autobiography: Under skies of a quiet May evening in 1993, I was born in Naghalin, Novallas, Tanjay, Philippines. Today, at 30, I'm more than what you'll find on my birth record. I'm a dreamer, a writer, a designer, an artist, a coder – a dabbler in many worlds. I weave words, conjure landscapes, and breathe life into pixels. HTML is my second language, and creativity, my constant companion. HTML <blockquote> for Quotations The HTML <blockquote> element defines a section that is quoted from another source. Browsers usually indent <blockquote> elements. Example: <p>Here is a quote from my Autobiography:</p> <blockquote cite="https://www.writing.com/main/view_item/item_id/2244849-Gervics-Autobiography"> Under skies of a quiet May evening in 1993, I was born in Naghalin, Novallas, Tanjay, Philippines. Today, at 30, I'm more than what you'll find on my birth record. I'm a dreamer, a writer, a designer, an artist, a coder – a dabbler in many worlds. I weave words, conjure landscapes, and breathe life into pixels. HTML is my second language, and creativity, my constant companion. </blockquote> HTML <q> for Short Quotations The HTML <q> tag defines a short quotation. Browsers normally insert quotation marks around the quotation. Example: <p>I am always guided by the words of Milton Berle: <q>If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.</q></p> yields: I am always guided by the words of Milton Berle: "If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door." HTML <abbr> for Abbreviations The HTML <abbr> tag defines an abbreviation or an acronym, like "HTML", "CSS", "Mr.", "Dr.", "ASAP", "ATM". Marking abbreviations can give useful information to browsers, translation systems and search-engines. TIP: Use the global title attribute to show the description for the abbreviation/acronym when you mouse over the element. Example: <p>The <abbr title="World Health Organization">WHO</abbr> was founded in 1948.</p> HTML <address> for Contact Information The HTML <address> tag defines the contact information for the author/owner of a document or an article. The contact information can be an email address, URL, physical address, phone number, social media handle, etc. The text in the <address> element usually renders in italic, and browsers will always add a line break before and after the <address> element. Example: <p>The HTML address element defines contact information (author/owner) of a document or article.</p> <address> Written by Jose Gervic Labe< br > Visit us at:< br > Gervic.InkSpot.Com < br > Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental< br > PH, 6200 </address> yields: The HTML address element defines contact information (author/owner) of a document or article. Written by Jose Gervic Labe Visit us at: Gervic.InkSpot.Com Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental PH, 6200 HTML <cite> for Work Title The HTML <cite> tag defines the title of a creative work (e.g. a book, a poem, a song, a movie, a painting, a sculpture, etc.). IMPORTANT: A person's name is not the title of a work. The text in the <cite> element usually renders in italic. Example: <p>The HTML cite element defines the title of a work.</p> <p>Browsers usually display cite elements in italic.</p> <img src="https://www.writing.com/main/images/action/display/ver/1650359756/item_id/2271610.png" alt="Reviewer of the Month"> <p><cite>Poetry Review Garden Reviewer of the Month</cite> designed by Gervic.</p> yields: The HTML cite element defines the title of a work. Browsers usually display cite elements in italic. ![]() ![]() Poetry Review Garden Reviewer of the Month designed by Gervic. HTML <bdo> for Bi-Directional Override BDO stands for Bi-Directional Override. The HTML <bdo> tag is used to override the current text direction. Example: <p>If your browser supports bi-directional override (bdo), the next line will be written from right to left (rtl):</p> <bdo dir="rtl">This line will be written from right to left</bdo> yields: If your browser supports bi-directional override (bdo), the next line will be written from right to left (rtl): tfel ot thgir morf nettirw eb lliw enil sihT |
