External Citation
Longer quotes used within the
<blockquote>
element will often include a citation. This
citation may comprise both the
cite
attribute and the
<cite>
element.
The
cite
attribute can be included on the
<blockquote>
element—in the same way
that it was used on the
<q>
element earlier—to provide a citation reference to the quote
in the form of a URL. The
<cite>
element then can fall after the actual quote itself to
specify the original source of the quote, if relevant.
The HTML here outlines an extended quote from Steve Jobs that originally appeared in
Fortune
magazine. The quotation is marked up using the
<blockquote>
element with a
cite attribute to specify where the quote originally appeared. In the
<blockquote>
ele-
ment, the
<cite>
element, along with an
<a>
element, provides an additional citation
and reference for the quote that is visible to users (see
Figure 6.9
).

<p>“In most people’s vocabularies, design is a
veneer. It’s interior decorating. It’s the fabric of
the curtains, of the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further
from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a
human-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive
outer layers of the product.”</p>
