Hi I’m seeing a great number of different ways to implementat blockquote in html but it doesn’t seem clear in its documentation how should I properly format a blockquote let’s say of a famous quote and metion its author like:

In victory, you deserve Champagne, in defeat, you need it.

Napoleon Bonaparte

What would the correct format of that be in HTML5?

Should the author be inside or outside the blockquote tag?
Should it be inside the cite attribute? (even knowing the documentation specifies an URI , not author)

    http://neilpie.co.uk/2011/12/13/html5-quote-attribution/

    For example, use

    <small class="author">Napoleon Bonaparte<small>
    

    HTML 5 documentation says, “Small print typically features disclaimers, caveats, legal restrictions, or copyrights. Small print is also sometimes used for attribution, or for satisfying licensing requirements.”
