HTML Citation Tutorial

Browser Support

The citation tag allows you to cite sources and references. It's rendered in italic text in most browsers, but the style can be changes using CSS.

Using a citation is easy:

<cite>cited text</cite>

Here's an example of cited text:

» Statistics compiled from the 2004 US Census Report

Other HTML tags that generally render text in italics include:

<i>   italic
<em>  emphasis
<dfn> definition
<var> variable
