Subject: an asthetic question
Hi all,
I writing with Koma script book style.
In several books I can see that quotations
appears:
Smith said: "blah blah blah".
in others appears:
Smith said: "blah blah blah."
Which is the correct?
Thanks.
Marcelo Acuña
The second one is the correct form.
However if the sentence you are writing requires punctation other than a
full stop, then this must go outside the quotes.
For example
Does Smith say "blah blah blah"?
Here the sentence is a question and so the punctuation is outside the
quotes. The same applies for exclamation marks
