How I imagine the markup to be is something like this
<p>This is the start of the text<q>and this is the start of the
quotation</q></p><p><q>this is the end of the quotation</q> and some more
text</p>
Off the top of my head I would use something like this css
q{
quotes: '"' '"';
}
q:last-child{
quotes: '"' '';
}
Unfortunately, the :last-child psuedo class does not take into account text
nodes after the elements. Which would mean that inserting a class to signify
the no-end quotes would be needed.
<style>
.multi-paragraph{
quotes: '"' '';
}
</style>
<p>This is the start of the text<q class="multi-paragraph">and this is the
start of the quotation</q></p><p><q>this is the end of the quotation</q> and
some more text</p>
Can anyone else think of a way to do this without the class injection?
