<blockquote> tag being specified incorrectly
Created by: Glenn-Domin
Wasn't sure quite where to report this, but it appears your HTML <blockquote>
example isn't technically correct:
<blockquote class="blockquote">
<p class="mb-0">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
<footer class="blockquote-footer">Someone famous in <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite></footer>
</blockquote>
The spec for <blockquote>
states:
Attribution for the quotation, if any, must be placed outside the blockquote element.
There are two examples of how you could do this correctly in the spec:
<blockquote>
<p>I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer
god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other
possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.</p>

<p>The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with.
It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held
prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to
be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true. We have a
method, and that method helps us to reach not absolute truth, only
asymptotic approaches to the truth — never there, just closer
and closer, always finding vast new oceans of undiscovered
possibilities. Cleverly designed experiments are the key.</p>

Personally I like the latter, though it's a bit verbose.
To be clear, the <footer>
element can be used inside a <blockquote>
, but not for the purpose of attribution.
