Macedonian and Ukrainian use the following to quote text:
<U201c> - Left double quotation mark
<U201e> - double low-9 quotation mark
Jutta, could you enlighten us?
I have do not have any information about Macedonian. But for the
Ukrainian language it seems the the first alternative at http://
www.witch.westfalen.de/csstest/quotes/quotes.html#ukrainian would be
the best one.
Note: I got new info for Ukraininian lately and that part changed!
div[lang=uk] q:before { content: "\00AB"; }
div[lang=uk] q:after { content: "\00BB"; }
div[lang=uk] q q:before { content: "\201E"; }
div[lang=uk] q q:after { content: "\201C"; }
Alternative2 is used for Handwriting only normally. And two closing
quotation marks (u+201C) cannot be together using it, which makes
automatic processing quite difficult.
Some notes: neither the information from wikipedia nor that from the
standardisation pages is reliable. Both of them seem to be made by
people using computers for a long time. The very best sources are
books (especially thos using old kind of typesetting and _not_
computer typesetting).
For computer we _can_ make compromizes. But I think the best would be
to make none, if possible.
BTW: German has two different solutions, too, but U+00AB are never
used in handwriting. So handwriting rules might be another source of
confusion beside old fashioned computer typing.
Question: Do we need pages how to create quotation marks on computer
keyboards?
greetings
Jutta
