On “Advanced text formatting”, there is a cite element in an a element, while on MDN cite page, there is an a element in a cite element. Is there any difference between them?
Hello @user-p
same as you can use a element inside p element you can do the same with cite and a
and notice that cite can be element and also be attribute
cite as element
<p>According to the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/blockquote">
<cite>MDN blockquote page</cite></a>:
</p>
and as atterbuite
<blockquote cite="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/blockquote">
not sure if that answer your question or not and have a nice day
Hi @justsomeone, I appreciate your help.
I try to paraphrase this question.
For example, the examples below work clearly differently(I just changed <cite>
to <p>
). I understand this differenece.
<a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/blockquote"><p>MDN blockquote page</cp></a>
<p><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/blockquote">MDN blockquote page</a></p>
However, I don’t understand difference between the examples below .
<a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/blockquote"><cite>MDN blockquote page</cite></a>
<cite><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/blockquote">MDN blockquote page</a></cite>
That’s all of this question.
The pages I’ve already showed has this difference. I just want to know whether there is some reason or not.
you welcome @user-p
i do not think there difference except that in the logic
so for me if i want cite element and i want to make it has refrence link to it i would use
which more logical on this use case
by the way i am just learner same as you so i could be wrong
