<q>

The <q> element is used to represent a brief inline quotation, as opposed to the <blockquote> element being used for longer ones.

It accepts a cite attribute that links to a valid URL that provides further context for the quotation.

Syntax

<q cite=""><!-- Brief quotation goes inside the tag --></q>

The <q> element requires an opening and closing tag wrapped around a line of text. The browser will automatically enclose the text in quotation marks.

Example

<!-- The text between the q tags will be surrounded by quotation marks -->

  One can't help but agree with it!
