Hi I'm seeing a great number of different ways to implementat blockquote in html but it doesn't seem clear in its documentation how should I properly format a blockquote let's say of a famous quote and metion its author like:
In victory, you deserve Champagne, in defeat, you need it.
Napoleon Bonaparte
What would the correct format of that be in HTML5?
Should the author be inside or outside the blockquote tag?
Should it be inside the cite attribute? (even knowing the documentation specifies an URI , not author)
Answer
I googled about this and it looks like <figure> and <figcaption> should do the job:
<figure>
<blockquote cite="https://developer.mozilla.org/samples/html/figure.html">
Quotes, parts of poems can also be a part of figure.
</blockquote>
<figcaption>MDN editors</figcaption>
</figure>
https://developer.mozilla.org/samples/html/figure.html
<figure>
<blockquote cite="http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/grouping-content.html#the-figure-element">
The figure element represents some flow content, optionally with a caption,
that is self-contained and is typically referenced as a single unit from the
main flow of the document.

<figcaption>asdf</figcaption>
