in thread How can we shorten the quoting of a post we reply to?

I'm not sure what the best way is to actually input the reference, but if we want the semantic meaning to be understandable for the next generation of parsers, it should be rendered as the attribute 'cite' with a URI to the quoted material.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#h-9.2.2.

    That is a question of what we use to mark it up (i.e. quote like code) versus what is generated (pre or blockquote) to then be rendered by the browser. So the HTML generated by perlmonks could (and possibly should) generate the cite attribute when generating the output.
