The CITE element marks up the title of a cited work. For example, a text discussing HTML could say <CITE>RFC 1866</CITE> says ....

Text in CITE is typically rendered in italics.

Notes:

Do not use CITE for anything but titles of cited works. It will confuse indexers and automatic programs to extract information from your documents. Use EM for emphasis or I for text which must appear in italics.
There is no element in HTML 3.2 to mark up short cited phrases. For longer texts, you can use BLOCKQUOTE.
