What is the difference between <q>
and <blockquote>
and <cite>
, because everything stops me being for citation. Is there any good practice or correct way to use these tags correctly? We can use these tags one inside the other since in HTML there is also the cite=""
attribute and the single quotes " ...
I also noticed that each of these tags is rendered differently on the page. It seems that the user-agent
has a particular CSS style for each of the tags, one has italic ( <cite>
) another not, one has some spaces ( <blockquote>
) others do not ...
<q>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</q><br>
<blockquote>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</blockquote><br>
<cite>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</cite><br>
After all, how should these tags be used? Is there a different semantic value for each of them, or do they all mean the same thing and there is no difference between them?
