I know I’m suppose to wrap quotes in either a
or
, but what about non-quotes? You know… words that sort of still demands the quotation marks.
Example:
We went to see the sculpture "Friendship" by Robert Jacobsen.
Should the word Friendship be wrapped in quotation tags, or is it okay to just use a " ?
The reason I’m in doubt, is that I don’t know if quotation tags are only meant for, well… quotes!??
well if you wnat to show something as a quote, as Doc said " is best to use.
but as for when you use them, is up to you and "your grammer"
Strictly speaking <blockquote> is a block element and <q> is an inline element. This means <blockquote> is automatically on a new line whereas <q> is not.
So for your example you could use:
Friendshipby Robert Jacobsen.
The <q></q> wraps the word Friendship in ‘smart’ quotation marks. i.e. We went to see the sculpture “Friendship” by Robert Jacobson.
If you prefer not to use <q> you can get the same result by using “ and ” in your markup.
Finally ,you can use " which results in "Friendship". i.e. standard quotation marks.
Hope that gives you a few options to try out.
