The HTML <q> cite attribute specifies the source of a short inline quotation. It contains a URL pointing to the original document or reference, though it is not displayed to users. It helps in citing the source of a quote.

Syntax

<q cite="URL">

Attribute Values

It contains a single value URL which is used to specify the URL of the quotation. The possible value of the URL is:

  • Absolute URL: It is used to point out other websites (like cite ="http://www.w3schools.com")
  • Relative URL: It is used to point out the page within the website. (like cite="geeks.htm").

Example: In this example we creates a webpage with centered text, displaying a heading "GeeksForGeeks", a subheading about the <q> cite attribute, and a paragraph quoting "GeeksforGeeks" with a citation link.
