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!

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.

I go back and forth, but really, I just hate the look of that stray punctuation in another color, logic be damn'd.

Punctuation outside.
I prefer it like:
Go to the Apple web site!

I need a "don't care" option.

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!

... My "outie" in her "innie" ...

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.
