  • Exactly what I was wanting!

    I too was about to add an enhancement request for Core to do just this, when I saw that it had already been requested and this plugin was the result. It's just as I imagined. I can only hope that, in time, this gets added to Core, especially as it's a similar premise to the inline link feature.

  • Where have you been all my life?

    This plugin has been a godsend for client sites where we have a need to utilize the cite element in blockquotes. Without it, we'd have to train people to add the proper markup in the Text pane. (And the training never stuck.) With this plugin, the WordPress editor's blockquote button works exactly the way we always wished it would.
