<q>: The HTML Quote Element

1 Description

The HTML <q> element is used when you would like to insert a short quote into some text on a webpage. The text inside of the <q> element will be rendered with double quotation marks around it.

If you would like to quote a larger piece of text you should consider using the <blockquote> element rather than the <q> element.
