HTML <cite> Tag

The <cite> tag in HTML is used to set the title of work. This can be title of a movie, title of a song, title of a painting, etc.

Let us now see an example to implement the cite tag in HTML −

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
   <h1>Books</h1>
   <h2>Java</h2>
   <p>Refer the following books to learn Core Java:</p>
   <p><cite>Core Java: An Integrated Approach</cite> by R. Nageswara Rao.</p>
   <p><cite>Java - The Complete Reference</cite> by Herbert Schildt.</p>
   <h2>AngularJS</h2>
   <p>Refer the following books to learn AngularJS:</p>
   <p><cite>Pro AngularJS</cite> by Adam Freeman</p>
   <p><cite>Learning AngularJS: A Guide to AngularJS Development</cite> by Ken Williamson</p>
</body>
</html>

Output

HTML <cite> Tag

In the above example, we have set the title of work using the cite tag −

<h2>Java</h2>
<p>Refer the following books to learn Core Java:</p>
<p><cite>Core Java: An Integrated Approach</cite> by R. Nageswara Rao.</p>
<p><cite>Java - The Complete Reference</cite> by Herbert Schildt.</p>

As you can see the title of the book is set using the <cite> −

<cite>Core Java: An Integrated Approach</cite> by R. Nageswara Rao
