HTML5 block-quote with author

Hi I'm seeing a great number of different ways to implementat blockquote in html but it doesn't seem clear in its documentation how should I properly format a blockquote let's say of a famous quote and metion its author like:

In victory, you deserve Champagne, in defeat, you need it.

Napoleon Bonaparte

What would the correct format of that be in HTML5?

Should the author be inside or outside the blockquote tag? Should it be inside the cite attribute? (even knowing the documentation specifies an URI , not author)

I googled about this and it looks like <figure> and <figcaption> should do the job:

<figure>
  <blockquote cite="https://developer.mozilla.org/samples/html/figure.html">
    Quotes, parts of poems can also be a part of figure.
  </blockquote>
  <figcaption>MDN editors</figcaption>
</figure>

https://developer.mozilla.org/samples/html/figure.html

<figure>
  <blockquote cite="http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/grouping-content.html#the-figure-element">
    The figure element represents some flow content, optionally with a caption,
    that is self-contained and is typically referenced as a single unit from the
    main flow of the document.
  </blockquote>
  <figcaption>asdf</figcaption>
</figure>

http://neilpie.co.uk/2011/12/13/html5-quote-attribution/

For example, use

<small class="author">Napoleon Bonaparte<small>

HTML 5 documentation says, "Small print typically features disclaimers, caveats, legal restrictions, or copyrights. Small print is also sometimes used for attribution, or for satisfying licensing requirements."

UPDATE 2018

HTML 5.3 Editor’s Draft, 9 March 2018

W3C says about the cite element:

The cite element represents a reference to a creative work. It must include the title of the work or the name of the author (person, people or organization) or an URL reference, or a reference in abbreviated form as per the conventions used for the addition of citation metadata.

So the following code it's fine:

<blockquote>
    Those who pass by us, do not go alone, and do not leave us alone; 
    they leave a bit of themselves, and take a little of us.
    <cite>Antoine de Saint-Exupéry</cite>
</blockquote>

My preference and it validates...

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head><title>Blockquote Test</title></head>
<body>

<div style="width:300px;border:1px solid #cecece; padding:10px;">

<blockquote cite="URL">
In victory, you deserve Champagne, in defeat, you need it.
</blockquote>
<div class="credit" style="text-align:right;">
<cite><a href="URL">Napoleon Bonaparte</a></cite>
</div>

</div>

</body>
</html>

This can be covered by Bootstrap 4 <footer class="blockquote-footer"> element:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.2.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.14.6/umd/popper.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.2.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

<blockquote class="blockquote">
  <p>In the digital age, knowledge is our lifeblood. And documents are the DNA of knowledge.</p>
  <footer class="blockquote-footer">Rick Thoman, CEO, <cite title="Xerox Corporation">Xerox</cite></footer>

This is how Bootstrap does quotes in v3.3.

<blockquote>
  <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
  <footer>Someone famous in <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite></footer>
</blockquote>

More on the footer element from MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/footer

The HTML <footer> Element represents a footer for its nearest sectioning content or sectioning root element (i.e, its nearest parent <article>, <aside>, <nav>, <section>, <blockquote>, <body>, <details>, <fieldset>, <figure>, <td>). A footer typically contains information about the author of the section, copyright data or links to related documents.

You may also consider using Structured Data, such as microdata, RDFa, and microformats.
