First case: Is the dialogue cited or remembered by the author or any character in the book? Or is the dialogue simply rendered in the novel, simultaneously to the main action? If the dialogue is taken from the past, it is a quotation. It is fictional, but it is true in the novel's universe, so you can use <q>. But if the dialogue happens during the main action it is not a quotation because it is coming to life while being read. Second case: Let's think of an example. Churchill never said this: “The fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascists” Many people think that Churchill really said that once, but he didn't. If the author thinks that Churchill really said that sentence, he should mark up it with <q>, even if quotation marks are not used. `<p>Churchill said that <q class="noquotationmarks">the fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascists</q> and I agree.</p>` Cheers Rebeca from Cornac -- GitHub Notification of comment by undivaga Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/i18n-discuss/issues/1#issuecomment-215855626 using your GitHub account
