Quotation marks to wrap an element in HTML
In HTML, quotation marks can be used to wrap an element, providing visual emphasis and indicating that the enclosed content represents a quotation.
This styling technique enhances the presentation of quoted text on web pages.
Setting default quotation marks:
To set quotation marks to wrap an element in HTML, you can use the `quotes` CSS property along with the `content` property to specify the quotation marks to be used (the below example uses the default quotes value, so it is not mentioned as can be seen). Here's how it can be achieved:
/* Define the quotation marks */
.q:before {
content: open-quote;
}
.q:after {
content: close-quote;
}
In this CSS:
- `open-quote` represents the opening quotation mark.
- `close-quote` represents the closing quotation mark.
Now, you can apply the `.q` class to elements where you want to set quotation marks:
<p class="q">This is a quoted text.</p>
This will render as:
“ This is a quoted text. ”
Make sure to adjust the CSS selectors and classes as needed to fit your specific use case.
Setting custom quotation marks:
To set custom quotation marks to wrap an element in, you can use the CSS `quotes` property along with the `content` property and the `open-quote` and `close-quote` values. Here's how you can do it:
/* Define custom quotation marks */
q {
quotes: "“" "”"; /* Define the opening and closing quotes */
}
/* Style the content within the quotation marks */
q::before {
content: open-quote; /* Insert the opening quote */
}
q::after {
content: close-quote; /* Insert the closing quote */
}
In this CSS:
- The `quotes` property defines the custom quotation marks to be used. Each value in the `quotes` property represents an opening and closing quote. In this case, "“" represents the opening quote, and "”" represents the closing quote.
- The `q::before` and `q::after` pseudo-elements are used to insert the opening and closing quotes before and after the content of the `q` element, respectively.
Here's an example demonstrating the usage of the custom quotation marks:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Quotation Marks Example</title>
<style>
/* Define custom quotation marks */
q {
quotes: "“" "”"; /* Define the opening and closing quotes */
}
/* Style the content within the quotation marks */
q::before {
content: open-quote; /* Insert the opening quote */
}
q::after {
content: close-quote; /* Insert the closing quote */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<q>This is a quoted text.</q>
</body>
</html>
In this example, the text within the `<q>` element is wrapped with custom quotation marks defined in the CSS.
The `q::before` and `q::after` pseudo-elements insert the opening and closing quotes before and after the content of the `<q>` element, respectively.
That is basically it.
