This is a weird html tag

Question

I was looking in a website's code with the inspect tool. And I saw a tag I've never seen before.

<gblockquote></gblockquote>

I've heard of a blockquote, but never a gblockquote.

There was nothing in between the tags. Just that.

I tried looking it up, but nothing relevant came up. Does someone know what it is?

(Full Element)

<p>
   <img src="http://www.scottgames.com/Montgomery.jpg" 
      <p="">
         <font size="7">
            <gblockquote></gblockquote>
         </font>
</p>

The guy's syntax was horrible, but the gblockquote interests me

techncally you can use any kind of custom element you want even `` can be a valid element if you correctly set the CSS — Temani Afif, Apr 28 '20 at 14:58

<gblockquote> was defined by CSS code.

Example: This CSS code defines a new HTML tag called <myhtmltag>.

myhtmltag {
   color: red; /*change the text color to red.*/
   font-size: 48px; /*change the font size to 48px.*/
}

And now let's use it:

<myhtmltag>This is a BIG and RED text!</myhtmltag>

Here's a code snippet:

myhtmltag {
  color: red; /*change the text color to red.*/
  font-size: 48px; /*change the font size to 48px.*/
}

<myhtmltag>This is a BIG and RED text!</myhtmltag>

Where did you find this in the source? – WeaponGod243 Apr 29 '20 at 15:08 — WeaponGod243, Apr 29 '20 at 15:08
