Semantic tags less commonly used
Quotes
<blockquote>
<q>
For inline quotes the <q>
tag can be used. It adds quotation marks around the text. The cite
attribute can also be used with this element.
Code and preformatted text
<code>
The code tag is used to mark up any code. This is printed using a mono space font by default.
<pre>
The pre tag is used to denote preformatted text, which preserves any formatting e.g. line breaks in your text.
The <pre>
and <code>
tags can be used together to enter multiple lines of code.
<abbr>
Use to mark up abbreviations. By default there is no visible style change.
The title will be shown on hover tool tip wise.
<address>
Used to denote contact details.
If the <address>
tag comes as a direct child of the <body>
element then this will be contact information for the whole page. To be marked as the contact information for just one person, this will need to be nested under the mark up for that person.
<cite>
<cite>
can be used a tag by itself. The default styling is to italicise this text. This is used to mark up book, film titles etc.
<wbr>
Useful for marking where to break a long string in the case that there may or may not be enough space.
