    Hi,

    I would like to remove the quotation marks from the blockquotes in Executive Pro. I saw that they are added in the css. I've tried adding the same css in my custom CSS sheet (but with the the marks) but it didn't work. Here is what I added:

    blockquote::before {
    display: block;
    font-size: 30px;
    height: 0;
    left: -20px;
    position: relative;
    top: -10px;
    }

    Here is a page with a blockquote: http://stress-free-mama.com/my-shoulders-ache-when-i-work-on-the-computer/

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Hi,

    if you don't want to edit your style.css, add content: ""; to your code snippet.

    May I tag onto this thread? For some reason I can't post anew (very weird) and I have a problem with the same exact code in Executive Pro. I changed something while tweaking but after I changed it back, even though the font size: is 30px, it shows on the page as much smaller on this page: http://new.darrylepollack.com/order/
    How can I get the large quotes back without messing up the spacing?

    blockquote,
    blockquote::before {
    color: #999;
    }

    blockquote {
    margin: 40px 40px 24px 20px;
    margin: 4rem 4rem 2.4rem;
    }

    blockquote::before {
    color: #2190c3;
    content: "\201C";
    display: block;
    font-size: 30px;
    height: 0;
    left: -20px;
    position: relative;
    top: -10px
    }

    Thank you.

    Jean

    Have solved the mystery of posting... will repost anew elsewhere. (Not sure how to delete the above post; apologies.)
