HTML 4 q Tag
Also see HTML5 <q>
Tag.
This page is for the HTML 4 version of this element. For a more up to date version, see HTML5 <q>
Tag.
The HTML <q>
tag is used for indicating short quotations (i.e. quotations that needs to display within a non-quoted paragraph).
Browsers generally surround <q>
text with quotation marks. If your quotation spans multiple lines, you should use the HTML <blockquote>
tag. Most browsers surround blockquote text as indented text.
Note: At the time of writing, browser support for the <q>
tag was limited.
