Revision as of 16:57, 22 September 2009
Research, data, use cases, issues, and enhancements related to the HTML5 cite element.
This article is a stub. You can help the whatwg.org wiki by expanding it.
speaker
The cite element has been used (and recommended to be used) to refer to speakers in a conversation, or individuals when quoting them, thus HTML5 should explicitly permit and encourage this use.
This section serves to document both uses in the wild, and long-standing recommendations/documentations thereof.
examples in the wild
- 2003-08-23: Won’t somebody please think of the gerbils? by Mark Pilgrim:
I mark up names of people I link to (like in the list above) with the CITE tag, and I have a script that runs every night that aggregates those tags and creates posts by citation.
- transcript of the presentation “What Brian Cant Never Taught You About Metadata”, by Drew McLellen (this is from a template I provided the transcription company; all others are similar structure. brucel)
- Many blog posts on adactio.com, e.g Blame from 2008-01-09:
...something Bruce Sterling said at last year’s South by Southwest...
- Default WordPress theme ("Kubrick") uses cite for name of commenters. That's approx 46 bajillion instances.
- The transcripts for comics (#34 and onward) at CSSquirrel. The links to the transcripts are hidden from sighted users, one example is: Transcript #35 2009-09-08
