<p>This plugin extracts <code>cite=""</code> and <code>title=""</code> details from blockquote to display with attribution and link below the quote. <code>cite</code> field is for the web address of source quoted from. <code>title</code> for the name of the author or source.</p>
<p>An example of a typical block quotation (html mark-up) in use would like the following:</p>
<pre><code><blockquote cite="http://www.quotedb.com/quotes/2369" title="Mahatma Gandhi">
    Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
</blockquote>
</code></pre>
<p>When viewed on the web, it would look like:</p>
<p>Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you<br />
   were to live forever.</p>
