HTML 'q' tag

Post by RobertGonzalez »

I just found this out... Did you know that the HTML 'q' tag (the inline quote tag) automatically adds curly quotes to your output. In Firefox and Opera. Of course, not in IE. But I thought it was cool. Load this HTML in your browsers to see it...

Code: Select all

<html>
<head><title>'q' tag</title></head>
<body>
<q>This is an inline quote!</q>
</body>
</html>

There are actually quite a few HTML tags that are rarely used:
