I can get -<cite><a href="https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10101319050523971"> Mark Zuckerberg </a></cite> to work but not the <blockquote cite="..." one.

It looks like you have just wrote "blockquote*s*" in your html tag in your linked file, instead of blockquote. That fix should do it :)

Your advice still hasn't fixed it. I updated the link in my post.

I forked it and opened it up and tested that link you updated in a workspace, and the <blockquote> tag appears to be working correctly. All <blockquote> does is basically indent and offset content inside of it and nothing else. I did look at the video related to that project and it does look like as the video progresses he explains how "cite" works as well as to better implement it in the project which will probably make more sense to you as you watch.

HI, I think I'm having the same problem as moorbilt had, the text is supposed to have a link and it doesn't display as a link just as plain text. Not this text <cite><a href="https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10101319050523971"></a>Mark Zuckerberg</cite> Which is supposed to highlight the name. Nor this one
<blockquote cite="https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10101319050523971"> "Virtual reality was once the dream of science fiction. But the internet was also once a dream, and so were computers and smartphones. The future is coming." - Mark Zuckerberg

I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing that the cite attribute doesn't make any visible difference on the page.
