<cite> tag I noted that it seemed to me that I was using the tag incorrectly when using it to delimit book titles.For some reason this snuck back in my head and I spent some time yesterday trolling the newsgroups and web discussions. After a lot of reading I've come to the conclusion that there does not seem to be any kind of general concensus on how the
<cite> tag is used and how a book title that is mentioned but not referenced should be marked up. Most people that even think about stuff like this seem to be of the opinion that any of the methods is fine as long as your intended audience gets the meaning.No doubt communications would like to keep using AP style formatting. I think I'll stick with
<cite> and use class names to further categorize if necessary.References:
