HTML - <q> Tag
The HTML <q> tag stands for the quotation element; it indicates that the enclosed text is a short inline quotation. This tag is intended for short quotations that don’t require a paragraph break.
Most browsers implement this <q> tag by surrounding the text in quotation marks.This <q> tag takes one attribute, which is "cite", which specifies the source URL of the quotes.
For the long quotations use the <blockquote> tag.
Syntax
Following is the syntax of <q> tag −
<q>.....</q>
Example
In the following example, let’s see the usage of <q> tag in the HTML document, as follows −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <p>When Dave asks HAL to open the pod bay door, HAL answers: <q cite="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062622/quotes/qt0396921">I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that. </q> </p> </body> </html>
When we run the above code, it will generate an output consisting of the text applied with quotations on the webpage.
Example
Considering the following example, we are using the <q> tag and also styling the content of the q tag using the CSS properties, as follows −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> q { color: green; font-style: italic; } p { color: green; font-size: 30px; } </style> </head> <body> <h1>The q tag</h1> <p>tutorialspoint: <q>Easy to learn!</q> </p> </body> </html>
On running the above code, the output window will pop up displaying the text with a quotations applied with a CSS on the webpage.

Let's look at the following example, where we are demonstrating the <q> tag with its attribute and also using the CSS properties to style the content of the <q> tag, as follows −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> q { color: green; font-style: italic; } </style> </head> <body> <h1>The q tag</h1> <p> <q cite="https://www.tutorialspoint.com">tutorialspoint: Easy to learn!</q> A EdTech organization which provides the 6000+ course and CSE tutorials and courses! </p> </body> </html>
