Description
A quote
surrounds an inline quotation. Using an
element for quotations is sometimes more convenient than entering the
quotation marks directly, and makes it possible for a presentation
system to alter the format of the quotation marks.
Block quotations are properly identified as
blockquote
s.
Processing expectations
Formatted inline. The quote
element is
expected to generate the proper quotation marks. These may be
influenced by the lang
attribute
on an ancestor element. For example, a quote in French might use
«guillemets» instead of English “quote marks.”
