Re: Best way to handle quotes and non-quotes

[davesgonebananas]

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:

Code:

We went to see the sculpture Friendship by Robert Jacobsen.
We went to see the sculpture “Friendship” by Robert Jacobsen.
We went to see the sculpture "Friendship" by 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 &ldquo; and &rdquo; in your markup.

Finally ,you can use &quot; which results in "Friendship". i.e. standard quotation marks.

Hope that gives you a few options to try out.
