<h2>The <blockquote> Element and cite Attribute</h2>
<p>The following description of XHTML is taken from the W3C Web site. It is contained inside a <blockquote> element, which also carries a cite attribute.</p>
<p><blockquote cite="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/">XHTML 1.0 is the W3C's first Recommendation for XHTML, following on from earlier work on HTML 4.01, HTML 4.0, HTML 3.2 and HTML 2.0.</blockquote></p>
<p>Note how the preceding paragraph is indented from the rest of the text.</p>
<h2>The <q> Element for Small Quotations</h2>
<p>If your quotation is going to appear only within a sentence, you should use the <q> element. The following sentence uses the <q> element to form a quote:</p>
<p>As Dylan Thomas said, <q>Somebody's boring me. I think it's me</q>.</p>
<h2>The <cite> Element for Quoting Text From Another Source</h2>
