[Solved] " xyz" vs 'xyz'

Beginner here: What is the difference and why?

So I’m learning how to write css and all of its glory. I have noticed that some times I see values in a single quotation mark while others have a double. Does it make a difference? If so, why?

Ex: font: bold 12px ‘Lucida Grande’, Verdana, sans-serif;

While other times I’ve seen the same line of code but in double quotation marks.

Thanks for the help-

In css, you can both use quote (‘) or double-quote (“) there is no real difference.
The only difference is if you wish to escape, if for some reason the value have a quote in it, and you use quote you will have to escape it (ex: font-family: ‘quo\’ted font’) but if you use double quote, you won’t have to escape it (font-family: “quo’ted font”)

Both methods can be applied.

It depends on the individuals , some follow double quotes as their styles,

others follow single quotes.

Both represent the values.
