Misleading Citation Example

[greg-mcmann]

The example provided on the page "Citations" incorrectly uses the <cite> tag. Below is the example provided:

??Don’t make something, unless it is both necessary and useful.??
??But if it is both necessary and useful, don't hesitate to make it beautiful.??
-- Shaker lesson

According to the MDN article linked lower on the page, "The <cite> HTML element is used to mark up the title of a cited creative work." Given this description, the example would be more appropriately written as:

Don’t make something, unless it is both necessary and useful.
But if it is both necessary and useful, don't hesitate to make it beautiful.
-- ??The Shaker Design Philosophy??

Now the <cite> element marks the title of the creative work, which respects the semantic meaning of the element.
