Today, the cows mooved Tom Dell'Aringa to write:

> Is it quotes, underline, italics...

<cite>National Geographic 79:4</cite>

cite {
  font-style: italic;
}

[blockquote cite=http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/phrase/cite.html]
The CITE element is used to markup citations , such as titles of magazines or
newspapers, ship names, references to other sources, and quotation attributions.
Visual browsers typically render CITE as italic text, but authors can suggest a
rendering using style sheets. Since CITE is a structural element, it carries
meaning, making it preferable to font style elements such as I when marking up
citations.
