Hey! I saw people adding cite element outside the blockquote element in paragraphs. Please tell me can I use cite element inside the blockquote element? Is it semantically correct?

Hi there @Hakan, and welcome to our community.

Your work here looks really good, and I see no reason why you can’t use <cite> inside <blockquote>.

In fact, I went so far as to check your code in the W3C HTML Validator, and it returns no validation errors, so I think you’re all good.

Note: The code I checked was the following, to make sure it has a complete document structure (otherwise the validator does complain):

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Advanced text semantics</h1>

    <p>Let's start with a quote:</p>

    <blockquote cite="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Accessibility">
	 <p>By default, <abbr title="Hypertext Markup Language">HTML</abbr> is accessible, if used correctly.</p> - From <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Accessibility"><cite>Accessibility Page of MDN</cite>.</a>
    </blockquote>
    <p><abbr title="Cascading StyleSheet">CSS</abbr> can also be used to make web pages more, or less, accessible.</p>
