The <cite> element contains only the name of the work, not the author or the location
within the work.
When you want to add an inline quotation, use the <q> element instead of using

attribute to the <q> element, which should contain only the name of the work. Furthermore,

shouted <q>Leave me alone</q> and then she ran away.</q>
</p>This example renders the first quotation by using double quotes and the second quotation
by using single quotes.Documenting code by using the <code> and <samp> elements
When you’re documenting code and code examples in your HTML document, the <code>
and <samp> elements provide a means for adding semantic meaning to your code and code
output.
When you want to display source code of any type in the HTML document, use the <code>
element, as shown in the following example.
<code class="keepWhiteSpace">
sayHello('Mom');
function sayHello(name)
{
alert('Hello ' + name + '!');
}
</code>After you run the sample code, you can document the output of the code by using the
<samp> element, as shown in the following example.
<samp class="keepWhiteSpace">
Hello Mom!
</samp>Remember that the <code> and <samp> elements provide semantic meaning to the
HTML, but they don’t preserve the white space. For example, the preceding sample code will
