I am trying to set up a style for a bordered box that will hold quoted material followed by the book title and author. I want the quoted material to be in italics but for some reason, the Wiki isn't seeing things my way. Here's a sample, maybe someone can tell me where I've gone wrong?
I suspected it has something to do with the actual use of quotemarks that is breaking the css styling. Please note that I started out with the convential use of bracketing the text in triple single- quotes before experimenting with the text-style:italic. Neither one gives me what I want. Then I removed the quotemarks bracketing the material I wanted quoted just to make sure those marks weren't the problem. That produced no change, either.
This is coded right into a Wiki page and not currently a part of my Wiki's stylesheet:
<div style="margin-left:1.0cm;margin-right:1.0cm;font- size:80%;border:1px solid #a3bfb1;text- align:left;color:#000;padding:0.8em 0.8em;"> <p style='text-style:italic'>"...the quoted material is entered here and should appear in italics."</p> <p style="text-align:right"> --BOOK TITLE by The Distinguished Author's Name </p> </div>
