Version: 2.0, 3.2, 4.0
Compability: Explorer 4, 5 Netscape 4, 6
- Syntax:
- <cite> ... </cite>
The <cite> tag takes the selected block of text (a citation) and displays it in italics. Unlike the blockquote tag, the citation is not preceded or followed by paragraph breaks. So the citation remain inline. You may still need to use other HTML tags to effect the textual display and appearance that you desire.
It is recommended that you use the blockquote tag for long citations and the cite tag for short citations.
The closing tag is mandatory.

<cite>The Place No One Knew: Glen Canyon on the Colorado River.</cite>Output:
