        quote mark was used, according to the following list:
        <list type="gloss">
          <label>dq</label>
             <item>double quotes open and close</item>
          <label>sq</label>
             <item>single quotes open and close</item>
          <label>dash</label>
             <item>long dash open</item>
          <label>dg</label>
             <item>double guillemets open and close</item>
        </list></p>
