Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The <q> HTML element indicates that the enclosed text is a short inline quotation. Most modern browsers implement this by surrounding the text in quotation marks. This element is intended for short quotations that don't require paragraph breaks; for long quotations use the <blockquote> element.
