I am trying to set up a style for a bordered box that

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>

Sandy,
I believe the problem may be with your paragraph style "<p
style='text-style: italic;'>".
I believe the proper syntax is: "<p style='font-style:
italic;'>".
