The <q> tag indicates that the text enclosed in it is a quotation. Visually, it means that most modern browsers will add quotation marks around the content that you put inside the tag. However, for older browsers, you might need to set a style rule with CSS.

Use the <q> element for short quotations that don't require line breaks. For longer quotes, there's a special <blockquote> element that comes with line breaks before and after.
