179.0. "Straight right double quotes" by BOOKIE::DUNCAN () Tue Aug 08 1989 15:05

    
    The right double quotation marks, those nice curly ones, are
    fine in the hard copy, but are as straight as little sticks 
    online.  They are coded (<double_quote>).
    
    The left double quote marks, coded (``), are fine both
    online and hard copy.

179.1Try the <QUOTE> tag...NAVIGO::GRANTI&#039;ve saved $2061.00 since I quit smoking.Wed Aug 09 1989 10:496
Donna,
	I believe the tag you're looking for is the <QUOTE> tag. It is used to
enclose text in the nice typesetters double quotes.

    I don't belive the <quote> tag produces just the *right* set of
    curly quotes.  Does the tag work differently in online?
    
    Thanks

    The tag works *exactly* the same online and for hardcopy. Any
    differences you see between the online and hardcopy output (and
    they are slight, in my opinion) are due to the differences between
    the online and hardcopy fonts (which are due largely to differences
    in the resolutions of the devices).

179.4one tag for both sets of "AITG::WARNERWho ya gonna call? TOOLBUSTERS!Tue Aug 15 1989 16:538
    Does this clear up the confusion -- (?)
    
    You use <quote> with an argument, to _enclose_ he argument with
    quotation marks at both ends. The <quote> tag takes care of both ends,
    and you don't use any additional tags for this effect.
    
    i.e., <quote>(The quality of mercy is not strained) gives you
    "The quality of mercy is not strained" with pretty quotation marks.
