this would be the quoted text, and search engines recognize them as specific quoted text, giving them more weight than just using a class to create the affect. * As far as why creating a shortcode…I can had one simple button to TinyMCE, then I can highlight the text and click the respective button to add thebrackets.

If this is for your clients, then they’re going to have to learn to use 2 buttons/shortcodes – 1 for inline quotes and 1 for block quotes. And the latter is identical to `` – which means that we’ve come full circle. * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️🌈 Advisor and Activist * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-quotes-using-shortcode/page/2/#post-2368755) * Er right, p then q. * And the full circle thing too 🙂 * Thread Starter [cableghost](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cableghost/) * (@cableghost) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-quotes-using-shortcode/page/2/#post-2368759) * Okay, I should have tested the previous code on my example above, however, I just tried wrapping it around the complete paragraph for testing. So, I went back and just added it to the partial content to be in quotes, and the previous code worked. It wrapped the to-be quoted content in
' . $content .
