The difference between tag and tag in html

Both the

tag and the tag mean "citation"

Difference:
1. Different formats
1. : The q tag is an inline element and will contain [""] at the beginning and end of the content;
2.

: blockquote is a block-level element, with left and right 40px outer spacing by default, without [" "].

2. Different semantics
1. : Quoting a small paragraph of text;
2.

: Quoting a large content block

Both tags mean "quote".

The difference is that the q tag is an inline element, with "" included at the beginning and end of the content, while blockquote is a block-level element, with left and right 40px outer spacing by default, without "".

Semantically speaking, the former refers to a small paragraph of text, and the latter refers to a large content block.

In terms of compatibility, the q tag will not contain "" under IE67. The quotes under FF are nice full-width characters: "". Under chrome, there are half-width characters: "". As for IE89, it should also be full-width characters, but it is really ugly without specifying a font. After specifying Song Dynasty or Microsoft Yahei, the rendering is consistent with FF.

From a compatibility point of view, these two pages behave the same under different browsers. But semantically speaking, the former clearly wins.

First clear the quotation marks in the q tag, then write the front quotation mark background style on the outer container of the q tag, and write the back quotation mark background style in the q tag, so as to achieve the "impeccable" effect. Then the number of lines of quoted content is limited. At the same time, if you assign the block attribute to q, the background will have different effects, both of which are great.

The cite attribute specifies the source of the citation.

The value of this attribute is a URL enclosed in quotation marks that points to an online document, and (if possible) the exact location of the reference in that document. For example:

WWF's goal is to: cite="http://www.wwf.org"> build a future where people live in harmony with nature  we hope they succeed.

Major browsers do not support the cite attribute. However, Search engines may use this attribute to obtain more information about the reference.
