<q> tag has no formatting.

Moving this to the Bluecheese (theme) project

Currently we're using:

q, blockquote {
  quotes: none;
}
q:before, q:after, blockquote:before, blockquote:after {
  content: "";
  content: none;
}

So this does look like it is still a problem. Let me put this in quotes.

The use of <q> vs <blockquote> needs to be considered:

This is in blockquotes

This is still part of html5 http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_q.asp

Hasn't been managed well by browsers http://alistapart.com/article/qtag

Has lots of possible fixes

But we should deal with this issue or close it.

This looks better to me.

css changes should not be made directly, they must be made to .scss files in the sass directory and compiled. See https://drupal.org/node/1953368.

Ok, I appreciate that. But is css/styles.css built somewhere else?

[mgifford@devwww partials]$ pwd
/var/www/dev/search_api-drupal.redesign.devdrupal.org/htdocs/sites/all/themes/bluecheese/sass/partials
[mgifford@devwww partials]$ grep -ir "q" *

That should tell me where styling for <q> is in the sass files, right?

I suppose I could add something different to the bottom of common/_basic-elements.scss

However my patch was simply to remove this existing css:
q:before, q:after, blockquote:before, blockquote:after

css/styles.css is built from the sass partials only, however in the partials/utilities/_utilities.scss you can see that we also import various resets, which come before our own sass partials. Such as: @import 'compass/reset';.
The css you mentioned comes from there and isn't in our sass files, you can add something to _basic_elements to override it indeed.

Please also always provide url where we can see the patch in action if there is any visual change. Thanks!

I don't think I have permission to compile the CSS.

[mgifford@devwww bluecheese]$ compass compile sass/partials/common/_basic-elements.scss

Since I'm having to assert rather than simply remove code I'm going with examples from:
