Quotation Marks

General rules of usage:

• Use double quotation marks for quotes.
• When quotes run into two or more paragraphs, each new paragraph takes opening quotation marks, but only the final paragraph takes closing quotation marks.
• Use single quotation marks within quotes where necessary.
• Use single quotation marks when highlighting a phrase or word within a sentence.
• Where the quote is a full sentence the fullstop goes inside the quotation marks.
