q
Enclose an area of text with quotation marks, thus setting it apart from the rest of the text flow.
Most browsers will attempt to use a set of left- and right- (smart) quotation marks, else the standard " is used.
Usage:
<q style="font: 12pt Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;">
... blahblahblah ...
</q>
| Tag Attribute | Used To... |
|---|---|
| style | Define an inline style to apply to the contents of the <q> quote.
Note that you may have to change the color of text inside the <q> tag
(with a <font> or <span> tag), or the inner text will inherit the
color stated in the styling attribute of the <q> tag. See Example 2. |
Best Practice Example:
<font face="Verdana,Arial,sans-serif" size="3" style="font: 11pt Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;">
