HTML Cite Tag

The <cite> tag in HTML is used to define the title of a creative work. This could be the title of a book, movie, song, artwork, research paper, or any other published or creative work.

It’s short for "citation", and its job is to indicate where something came from. This tag helps provide credit or context — kind of like when you quote someone and then say where the quote came from.

What Happens Visually?

By default, most browsers render the text inside a <cite> tag in italic style. This is just a visual cue that says, "Hey, this is a cited work." However, you can change this style using CSS if you want it to look different.

Syntax -

<cite>..text here..</cite>
