A Word about Quotation Marks



Quotation marks within HTML files when used as part of the code itself, need to be "straight quotes" and not “ smart quotes ”. If you use smart quotes, the browser will not read your code correctly. When using quote marks within content text on your page, most browsers will accept straight quotes typed in Simpletext or Notepad, but if you are having a problem with them showing up, you can use the code - &quot - to create quotes within your regular text. These however will be seen as straight quotes and not as smart quotes. The only way to see smart quotes is to hard code them into your HTML file. The code for a smart quote is - & #147; - for the opening quote and - & #148; - for the closing smart quote. For a smart apostrophe, the code is - & #8217; - (all without the space between the ampersand and the pound sign).
