Day 3: Comfort

I wish I could go back to sleep for a couple more hours.

Swift Slowly: Day 38 - Hacking Swift 23

Today’s activity is research.

I’m a little nervous about what is coming next because this was the first time that I saw the syntax for templates and custom containers.

It just didn’t feel like that was really the style that I was going for. It kept nagging me… Is this the most semantic way to show a block quote?

Boom! I started a search on DuckDuckGo and fell down a rabbit whole with questions about <blockquote>, <cite>, and even the <q> which I’ve been using in the last several posts¹.

I’ve been going back and forth with MDM, html5doctor, and w3 schools. I finally just went to the w3.org site and will be happy to use the following.
