Re: [WSG] Correct way to mark up a quote and persons name

That's visual styling there, not semantic! I would do the following:

       <p><q>"I think Web Standards are excellent"</q></p>
       <cite>Ed Henderson</cite>
</blockquote>

q:before {
content:'';
}

q:after{
content:'';
}

This will ensure that users only see one set of quotation marks (I think).


Amazing!  I'm completely confused now:

It works OK in Firefox/Opera/ AND IE6/7.  So why don't I see two sets of 
quotes in Firefox?

NOW, if I use:

q:before {
content:&#8220;
}

q:after{
content:&#8221; }

I get two sets of quotes!   Duh?
