HTML <q> Tag
Description
The <q> HTML tag is used to define a short inline quotation within a document. It is typically employed to enclose a brief, inline quote that is a part of the surrounding text. When the <q> tag is used, modern web browsers often add quotation marks around the quoted text to visually distinguish it. This tag is particularly useful for ensuring proper semantic markup when quoting text within paragraphs or sentences on a webpage, allowing web developers to maintain the structure and meaning of the content.
