Are single and double quotation marks used interchangeably in CSS?

Hi Amy Howard

There is no difference between single or double quotes. You can simply use single quotes or double quotes, that is simply up to you, but my recommendation is to use double quotes. Especially when you will want to add some JS, you will find it very useful.

Here is example how I write code:

<a href="#" onclick="alert('Clicked');">Click me!</a>

EDIT: Thanks Steven Parker, I forgot to say, that quotes are interchangeable. But what i said, using single or double quotes is up to you.

So you can write code also:

<a href='#' onclick='alert("Clicked");'>Click me!</a>

The quote types are interchangeable, as long as they are used in matching pairs.

But it is a good practice to use one type consistently. Some style guides indicate a preference for one or the other, usually double quote (").

Google style guide recommends double quotes (") for HTML, and single(') for CSS. But then they're not totally consistent with that even in their own documentation.

Thanks to you both! Do either of you know how to access the "markdown cheatsheet" referenced at the bottom of this page? The link takes me to the main dashboard of the community, but I don't see it mentioned there...

Thank you, Steven!
