Quotes in HTML Did you know that just like " = " and ' = ' in HTML, there are equivalents for the left and right quotes as well:

  • ’ = ’ (right single quote)
  • ‘ = ‘ (left single quote)
  • ” = ” (right double quote)
  • “ = “ (left double quote)

Your browser should be able to render these properly, if not, please comment so we can figure out why. For a complete listing, check out this HTML Symbol Reference. My reason for posting this is I've been wondering how to do the left and right quote thing, and now I know! Posted in The Web at Nov 15 2002, 07:07:04 AM MST 1 Comment

This “A List Apart” story comes in handy here. It gives you all necessary details (and more) on these small funny typographical symbols that make the difference in web page layout. Did you notice the insanely beautiful ‘curly’ quotes in this comment? :-)
