see Spot run! Run Spot. Run!</Q></Q>

Dick said: Look Jane, see Spot run! Run Spot. Run!

The browser is intended to insert the necessary and approriate quotations marks. Until there is greater uniformity of expression they should be included, as in the example below:

see Spot run! Run Spot. Run!'</Q>"</Q>

Yields -

"Dick said: 'Look Jane, see Spot run! Run Spot. Run!'"
