The HTML <q></q> element, or quote, indicates that the enclosed text is a short inline quotation. This element is intended for short quotations that don't require paragraph breaks; for long quotations use the <blockquote> element.
Most modern standards-aware browsers, like Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Safari, should add quotation marks ("") around text enclosed within the <q> element.
Some browsers, like Internet Explorer, may not make any sort of style change for quotations, but it is possible to apply a style rule.
