How to use HTML Blockquote Generator

Enter your quote text, an optional cite URL, and the author, and the tool builds a semantic blockquote with attribution.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cite attribute for?

The cite attribute on <blockquote> holds the source URL of the quotation. It is machine-readable metadata and is not displayed, so add a visible attribution separately.

How should I credit the author?

Wrap the quote in a <figure> and place the attribution in a <figcaption> using <cite> for the source name. This generator can build that accessible structure for you.

Blockquote vs q — which do I use?

Use <blockquote> for longer, block-level quotations set off from the text, and the inline <q> element for short quotes that flow within a sentence.
