Notes
• This element is intended for short quotations that don't require paragraphs or larger
structures, as compared to text that would be contained within
<blockquote>
.
• Some browsers, like Internet Explorer 6, may not make any sort of style change for
quotations, but it is possible to apply a style rule to provide some indication of a
change in style.
• Most browsers, including IE 8+, Opera, Safari, and Mozilla-based browsers like
Firefox, will wrap inline quotations in quote marks. These can be controlled by style
rules. Mentions in the HTML5 specification suggest that user agents will not put in
quotation marks and this will be left solely to the developer. This seems a highly
dubious possibility.
<rp> (Ruby Parentheses)
This element is used to define parentheses around a
ruby
text entry defined by an
rt
element. This element helps browsers that do not support
ruby
annotations to keep the
reading hint clear from the text it is associated with.
