Thanks, Rob Hi Rob, In this case I'd use the blockquote element personally eg. blockquote cite=www.technogym.com p LIW 2007 was a great show for Technogym. We showcased an exciting 7 new products which our... /p citeTECHNOGYM UK LTD/cite /blockquote Alternatively use q to wrap the quote itself, and cite to mark up the source of the quote. The spec has some more examples: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#h-9.2.2 Regards, another Rob *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

Re: [WSG] Tag for quotes
This question was asked less a week ago, here was my reply: The W3C has an example of the use of the cite and quote elements here: http://www.w3.org/People/mimasa/test/xhtml2/spec-examples/mod-text/cite -ex01.xhtml Or you can read all about quotations here: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#h-9.2.2 You could avoid the blockquote and use a paragraph depending on the length of the quoted text. Only use the q element if it is an inline quote (i.e., a short quote). If you want a lengthy quote, use the blockquote. An inline quote example: code pcite cite=http://www.comany-url.com;Company XYZ says/cite q lang=us-enYou are the best!/q/p /code A block level quote example (as Mike indicated above): code blockquote pI have a lot of things to say about this guy. He's done a really great job! cite cite=http://www.company-url.com;--- Company XYZ/cite/p /blockquote /code You can also add an anchor around the company name if you want to link to their website. I don't believe the cite *attribute* (as opposed to *element*or 'tag') is compulsory if you're not referring to an online source, but I'm not entirely certain.
