curly quotes

[paulmo]

this is looking good in html:

<p> <font size= "7" font-family: "arial" color="blue"><strong>“</strong></p><p><font size= "7" font-family: "arial" color="red"><strong>”</strong></p>

but when i try to incorporate it with css using <p style = > for my doc, i get those css-only angular quotes that are not what i'm looking for.so question is, is it ok to use <font> in my doc? everywhere i read it's not good and to use <p style>.

What css-only angular quotes? You mean the curly brackets? { }

so question is, is it ok to use <font> in my doc? everywhere i read it's not good and to use <p style>.

not really..font is depreciated, it is better to style your p tags in your css:)

Style shouldn't have anything to do with character entities one way or another, unless the character is not supported by the font you're using. (You should add the semicolon to the ends of your entities, BTW.) Maybe you should post the style declaration you're using in case it's malformed somehow.

referring to quotes not brackets...anyhoo have gone with images after all for the time being.
