Description

Quote surrounds an inline quotation. Using an element for quotations is frequently more convenient than entering the character entities for the quotation marks by hand, and makes it possible for a presentation system to alter the format of the quotation marks.

Block quotations are properly identified as BlockQuotes.

Processing expectations

Formatted inline. The Quote element is expected to generate the proper quotation marks. These may be influenced by the Lang attribute on an ancestor element. For example, a quote in French might use «guillments» instead of English "quote marks."
