HTML(5) – How to use code and pre, and cite, q and blockquote tags

Publish Date:
  • <code> for marking computer code,
  • <pre> for preformatted text.

Do not make code pre-formatted via CSS.

<cite> is for the title of a work only! It’s not about a source or quote, it’s only the works title (movie title, book title, etc).

<q> is for a short, inline quotation, so you don’t have to use quotation marks.

<blockquote> on the other hand let’s you quote a block of text.

Also, HTML5 does not have acronym anymore. Only use <abbr> now.
