>These seems somewhat like a stylistic problem, since the quotes >really have no meaning themselves and only meant for display. However >CSS would not be able to specify this type of special quotes >rendering. Quotes marks DO have meaning! They indicate a change of voice. Such a change must be indicated visually in a visual medium, just as they are indicated by a literal change of voice in an oral medium. Display has meaning! A Q tag might also be implemented as an indented paragraph with no quote marks, depending on the length of the quotation. PF ------ The student of literature and philosophy is prone to be concerned with book "content" and to ignore its form. ...in a world of phonetic literacy this compulsion to split form and content is universal, and affects non-literary people as much as the scholar. -- M. McLuhan - The Gutenberg Galaxy
