`, ``, ``, ``, ``, and `` β that mark up quotations, citations, abbreviations, and text direction so browsers, translators, and search engines can interpret content meaningfully. [S1] ## π§ ν΅μ¬ κ°λ (Core concepts) - **``** β defines a section that is quoted from another source; browsers usually indent it. [S1] - **``** β defines a short inline quotation; browsers normally insert quotation marks around it. [S1] - **``** β defines an abbreviation or acronym (e.g. "HTML", "CSS", "Mr.", "Dr.", "ASAP", "ATM"); marking abbreviations gives useful information to browsers, translation systems, and search engines. [S1] - **``** β defines contact information for the author/owner of a document or an article; renders in italic with a line break before and after. [S1] - **``** β defines the title of a creative work (book, poem, song, movie, painting, sculpture, etc.); renders in italic. [S1] - **``** β BDO stands for Bi-Directional Override; overrides the current text direction. [S1] ## π§© μΆμΆλ ν¨ν΄ (Extracted patterns) - **Source attribution pattern** β `` ties a quoted block to its source URL. [S1] - **Inline quotation pattern** β wrap a short quote in `β¦` and let the browser supply quote marks. [S1] - **Tooltip-on-abbreviation pattern** β `SHORT` surfaces the expansion on mouse-over via the global `title` attribute. [S1] - **Direction-override pattern** β `β¦` forces right-to-left rendering. [S1] ## π μΈλΆ λ΄μ© (Details) This chapter goes through the ``, ``, ``, ``, ``, and `` HTML elements. [S1] **The `` Element** The HTML `` element defines a section that is quoted from another source. Browsers usually indent `` elements. [S1] ```htmlHere is a quote from WWF's website:
For 60 years, WWF has worked to help people and nature thrive. As the world's leading conservation organization, WWF works in nearly 100 countries. At every level, we collaborate with people around the world to develop and deliver innovative solutions that protect communities, wildlife, and the places in which they live.``` **The `` Element** The HTML `` tag defines a short quotation. Browsers normally insert quotation marks around the quotation. [S1] ```htmlWWF's goal is to:
``` **The `` Element** The HTML `` tag defines an abbreviation or an acronym, like "HTML", "CSS", "Mr.", "Dr.", "ASAP", "ATM". Marking abbreviations can give useful information to browsers, translation systems and search-engines. [S1] > **Tip:** Use the global `title` attribute to show the description for the abbreviation/acronym when you mouse over the element. [S1] ```htmlBuild a future where people live in harmony with nature.The WHO was founded in 1948.
``` **The `` Element** The HTML `` tag defines the contact information for the author/owner of a document or an article. The contact information can be an email address, URL, physical address, phone number, social media handle, etc. The text in the `` element usually renders in italic, and browsers will always add a line break before and after the `` element.

The text in the `` element usually renders in italic. [S1] ```htmlThe Scream by Edvard Munch. Painted in 1893.
``` **The `` Element** BDO stands for Bi-Directional Override. The HTML `` tag is used to override the current text direction. [S1] ```html This text will be written from right to left ``` **Reference table** | Tag | Description | |---|---| | `` | Defines an abbreviation or acronym | | `` | Defines contact information for the author/owner of a document | | `` | Defines the text direction | | `` | Defines a section that is quoted from another source | | `` | Defines the title of a work | | `` | Defines a short inline quotation | [S1] ## π οΈ μ μ© μ¬λ‘ (Applied in summary) The WWF blockquote, the WHO abbreviation, and the "The Scream" citation above are the canonical applied examples from the source.
