Grammar / Web Design question - Seacrest - 08-12-2009 Does one put punctuation inside link tags or outside? Ex: Go to the Apple website! Go to the Apple website! Re: Grammar / Web Design question - deckeda - 08-12-2009 Can't vote w/o clarification first. Does innie or outtie refer to how far the link extends, or to where the punctuation lies in relation to the link? But I vote for just linking text, not punctuation. Why? Easier to read, and intuitively the linked word makes sense to me to not include the punctuation. Re: Grammar / Web Design question - MysteryGuest - 08-13-2009 I go back and forth, but really, I just hate the look of that stray punctuation in another color, logic be damn'd. Re: Grammar / Web Design question - bik - 08-13-2009 Punctuation outside. I prefer it like: Go to the Apple web site! Re: Grammar / Web Design question - Dick Moore - 08-13-2009 I need a "don't care" option. Re: Grammar / Web Design question - JoeM - 08-13-2009 For me, if link is word or words within a sentence, it's an innie: Go to the Apple website! If the whole sentence is the link, outtie: Go to the Apple website! Re: Grammar / Web Design question - testcase - 08-13-2009 ... My "outie" in her "innie" ... ![]() Re: Grammar / Web Design question - trisho. - 08-13-2009 JoeM has it right. Or at least that's the style I use. I'm there is an official web style guide for copywriters you could consult. Re: Grammar / Web Design question - karsen - 08-13-2009 What JoeM said. |
