Learn more about what the HTML <cite> tag is in this article.
In HTML, the <cite> tag is used to provide a reference or title to a piece of work, like books, paintings, poems, songs, films, etc. It is used to reference the name of the work rather than the author. By default, content within the opening and closing tags are rendered in italic and the rules can be changed using CSS. The <cite> tag is a rarely used tag with little presentational value and is only used to add semantic information to HTML documents. This tag is supported by all major web browsers.
