<p>As <cite>Will Rogers</cite> said -
<q>Never let yesterday use up too much of today.</q></p>The <cite> element represents a reference to a creative work.
The <cite> element must include the title of the work or the name of the author (person, people or organization) or an URL reference.
Examples of where the <cite> element could be used include a reference to a book, a paper, an essay, a poem, a score, a song, a script, a film, a TV show, a game, a sculpture, a painting, a theatre production, a play, an opera, a musical, an exhibition, a web site, a web page, a blog post or comment, a forum post or comment, a tweet, a written or oral statement, etc.
The <cite> element is often used with the <blockquote> or <q> elements but this is not a requirement.
If used with a <blockquote> element, the <cite> element can be either nested inside the <blockquote> element, or it could stand alone.
