CSS: Swooshy Curly Quotes Without Images
The problem
Take a quote and render it within blockquote tags, applying big, funky and stylish curly quotes both at the beginning and the end without using any images – at all.
The traditional way
Feint background images under the text, or an image in the markup housed in a little float. Often designers only use the opening curly quote as it’s just too difficult to float a closing one. Simon Collison explains his solution!
