In HTML, quotation and citation elements are used to represent quotes and references within a document. These elements help provide semantic meaning to text, indicating that certain content is a quote or a citation, and they are often styled differently by default in browsers.
HTML Quotation and Citation Tags List
HTML <q> Tag
HTML <blockquote> Tag
HTML <cite> Tag
HTML <address> Tag
HTML <bdo> Tag
HTML <abbr> Tag
Inline Quotation : <q>
The <q> element is used for short, inline quotations. It is typically used for quoting a few words or a single sentence within a paragraph
Example
<p>Steve Jobs once said, <q cite="https://www.example.com/article">"The only way to do great work is to love what you do."</q></p>
The <abbr> element represents an abbreviation or acronym. It helps browsers and assistive technologies understand abbreviated text. A title attribute is often used to specify the full term when the user hovers over the abbreviation.
Example
<p>The organization is known as <abbr title="World Health Organization">WHO</abbr>.</p>
The <address> element is used to provide contact information for a person, organization, or website. It usually contains physical addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, or links to social media profiles.
The <bdo> element is used to override the text direction for its content. It is particularly useful in cases where the default text direction (left-to-right or right-to-left) needs to be reversed.
