Quotations
We can indicate that a selection of text is quoted from another source using the <blockquote>
element. The <blockquote> element only indicatesthat its content was sourced from some-
where else, so we still need to use elements such as headlines and paragraphs to mark up the
quotation's content. For shorter quotations that don't need additional document structure, we
can use the <q> element. Both the <blockquote> and the <q> elements can be extended with
the cite attribute. The cite attribute specifies the URL source of the quotation. An example
for <blockquote> is:
<blockquote cite="http://www.worldwildlife.org/who/index.html">
<p> For 50 years, WWF has been protecting the future of nature. The world's leading conservation organization,
WWF works in 100 countries and is supported by 1.2 million members in the United States and close to 5 million
globally.</p>
</blockquote>
A short quote, <q> example is:
<p>WWF's goal is to: <q cite="http://www.wwf.org">Build a future where people live in harmony with
nature.</q>We hope they succeed.</p>
