Entities in HTML

HTML entities are special characters that represent characters that are not directly printable, such as the copyright symbol (©), the registered trademark symbol (®), the degree symbol (°), and so on. To insert an HTML entity in an HTML document, you use the format &#xXXXX; where XXXX is the hexadecimal code for the character.

HTML Quotation Tag

The use of quotations is common in textual content. HTML provides specific tags to handle this: <blockquote> for block quotations and <q> for inline quotations. In this blog, we'll explore these tags, their attributes, and how to style them.

What Are <blockquote> and <q> Tags?

The <blockquote> and <q> tags serve to define quotations in HTML. While <blockquote> is used for longer, block-level quotes, <q> is used for shorter, inline quotes.

Why Use These Tags?

They provide semantic meaning to your quotations, making it easier for search engines to understand the context and relevance of the content.

Basic Syntax

<blockquote>

Quotation text here.

<q>

Quotation text here.

Attributes

Both <blockquote> and <q> tags support the cite attribute:
cite: Specifies the URL of the quote's source.

Practical Example

Using <blockquote> for long Quotes

This is a long quote from an external source. This quote can span multiple lines and paragraphs.

Using <q> for Short, Inline Quotes

The philosopher said, The unexamined life is not worth living.

Styling with CSS

You can style these tags using CSS to better match the aesthetics of your website.

Conclusion

The <blockquote> and <q>tags are essential for semantically marking up quotations in HTML. They provide both readability and SEO benefits. Understanding how to use these tags effectively can add more depth and clarity to your web content.
