Hi all, I have a question about Internet Explorer. We are proofing the journal right now, and have discovered that IE doesn't seem to display quotation marks for the html:q tag. To indicate italics, we follow the W3C recommendation and use <q> rather than marks to rend quotations, article titles, and the like. In our CSS, we indicate how those marks are supposed to appear (e.g. when nested). In this specific case, we have
--In HTML-- <q>quoted text</q>
--In CSS-- q { quotes: “ ” }
q q { quotes: ‘ ’ }
q q q { quotes: “ ” }
q:lang(FRA), q:lang(ITA) { quotes:« »; }
(we've also tried: q { quotes: '"' '"' }
q q { quotes: "'" "'" }
q q q { quotes: '"' '"'; }
q:lang(FRA), q:lang(ITA) { quotes:« »; }
)
Weirdly, the Italian and French quotes work fine in all browsers; the other q styles work in Opera and Firefox.
Any suggestions?
