quotesNN 6 IE 5(Mac) CSS 2

Inherited: Yes

Controls the characters to be generated for open and close quote symbols in text. The assumption is that the quote symbols are not part of the content, but are generated by the browser because of contextual clues (such as surrounding a quote with a q element). This attribute must be used with the content attribute, which, with the help of the :before and :after pseudo-classes, determines where the open-quote and end-quote symbols appear:

 
CSS Syntax

Value

One or two pairs of quoted symbols. The optional second pair defines the symbols used for a nested quote symbol. Entity characters are not permitted.

 
Initial Value

Depends on browser and system language.

 
Applies To

All elements.
