q — HTML 4.01
Synopsis
<q> . . . </q>
Delimits a short quotation that can be included inline, such as
“to be or not to be.” It differs from blockquote, which is a block-level element
used for longer quotations. According to the specification, the user
agent should automatically insert quotation marks before and after a
quote element (however, Internet Explorer versions 7 and earlier do
not support this feature). When used with the lang (language) attribute, the browser may
insert language-specific quotation marks.
