lq
The long quote (<lq>) element
indicates content quoted from another source. Use the quote element <q>
for short, inline quotations, and long quote <lq>
for quotations that are too long for inline use, following normal
guidelines for quoting other sources. You can store a URL to the source
of the quotation in the href attribute;
the href value may point to a DITA topic. For more complex
references to the source of a quote, you may use the <longquoteref>
element, which was added in DITA 1.2.
Most of the following comment was
pulled from the HTML 4.01 specification's description of BLOCKQUOTE,
after a review comment indicated that the spec should describe rendering
expectations.
Although rendering is left up to implementations,
processors generally render <lq> as an indented block.

| Name | Description | Data Type | Default Value | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| href | Provides a reference to a resource. See The href attribute for detailed information on supported values and processing implications. | CDATA | #IMPLIED | No |
| type | Indicates the location of the source of the quote. Note that
this allows some values in addition to those allowed on the type attribute on
many other DITA elements. See
The type attribute for detailed information
on the usual supported values and processing implications. In addition, the
following attribute values are allowed (but deprecated) for backward
compatibility:
When either the scope or format attribute has an explicit setting, a type attribute value of external or internal is ignored. |
CDATA | #IMPLIED | No |
| scope | The scope attribute identifies the closeness of the relationship between the current document and the target resource. See The scope attribute for more information on values. In the absence of an explicit specification for the scope attribute, an explicit value of type="external" implies scope="external". | (local | peer | external | -dita-use-conref-target) | #IMPLIED | No |
| format | The format attribute identifies the format of the resource being referenced. See The format attribute for details on supported values. In the absence of an explicit specification for the format attribute, an explicit value of type="internal" implies format="dita". | CDATA | #IMPLIED | No |
| reftitle | The title of the document or topic being quoted. | CDATA | #IMPLIED | No |
| univ-atts attribute group (includes select-atts, id-atts, and localization-atts groups) | A set of related attributes, described in univ-atts attribute group | |||
| global-atts attribute group (xtrf, xtrc) | A set of related attributes, described in global-atts attribute group | |||
| class, outputclass, keyref | Keyref provides a redirectable reference based on a key defined within a map. See The keyref attribute for information on using this attribute. Class and outputclass are described in Other common DITA attributes |
