HTML <cite> Tag
Description
The <cite> HTML element represents the name of the creative work (books, articles, poems, scripts, films, songs, operas, games, etc.). This may be the work referenced in a quote, or just a work mentioned in passing. <cite> is usually combined with quotes, in particular, with the <blockquote> element and indicates the name of the work from which the quote is taken. Note that <cite> is not suitable for reference to the source, there is a cite attribute for this. Browsers usually highlight text inside <cite> in italics.
