Providing Citations for Quotes in Word
A citation is a reference or footnote to a book, article, or other material that specifies the source from which a quotation was borrowed. A citation contains all the information necessary to identify and locate the work. Using a Citation character style and the Citation marker, you can specify citations for quotes that enable users to go to a Web site that contains additional information about the quote.
Following is an example of the HTML code produced when you specify a citation for a quote.
<blockquote cite="http://shakespeare.mit.edu/lll/full.html"> <p>Remuneration! O! that's the Latin word for three farthings. 
--- William Shakespeare (Love's Labor Lost).</p> </blockquote> 
 
To provide citations for quotes, your Stationery and template must have the following items configured:
*Citation character style
*Citation marker type
Your output format must also support this feature.
