would it be possible to add an option that allows different placement of the quotationsmarks?

as the module works now, the quotationmarks are place on the top left (above text) and lower right corner (below text).

I however would love to have the text from the upp there left nicely snugg upp with the quotation marks for a few lines. I think this could simply be achieved by adding something with align:left to the CSS stylesheet .... and somehting similar to the quotationmark at the lower right corner (don't know exactly what at the moment)

I guess you get the clue, don't you? would that be possible?

Sure, if you need to fine-tune things you can definitely override the CSS that's generated by the module in your theme. Just take the same classes that you entered in on the configuration screen, add those to your theme's stylesheet, and change whatever you'd like.

thank you ... you are right. of course i can put everything in the theme's styelsheet. but still ... I am not good at all at theming and CSS

1 - q-mark in upperleft corner: the easier part .... i guess

2 - the q-mari in the lowerright corner: not sure how i keep it in the corner, so it does not move with the text, lets say to the "middle" if the line stops there in the "middle" ...

will post here if i end upp with a solution that i consider more pleasing to the eye !

thanks for the module anyway, exactly what I needed !

Awesome. Thanks for the positive feedback. Maybe if you could mock up an image of what you're looking for, I could suggest what CSS changes you would need to make.

I'm still not ruling out the possibility of a new feature here. This module is brand new and may possibly be lacking features that people need.

what i am looking for?

something like this ...
http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/nationalelf/startseite/525412/artikel...
scroll down, on the page there is a "quotation" in 2-3 places

with the quotationmark left "furhter down" and the q-mark right "higher up"

text strictly "inside" between the q-marks. not had the time to fool around yet, but grateful for input

I'd probably do something like:

.NAME-OF-YOUR-QUOTATION-CLASS {
  padding: 25px 20px 0 80px;
}
.NAME-OF-YOUR-QUOTATION-CLASS:after {
  margin: -30px -30px 0 0;
}

Nevermind, I decided to go ahead and add a feature for this. Now, you can select a "placement" of the quotation marks (top/bottom vs. left/right) within the admin config page. Please download the latest version to get this new feature.
