How to Use Text Quote
Wrap your text in custom left and right quotation characters, line by line or all at once. It runs locally in your browser, so your content never leaves your device.
- Paste the text you want to wrap into the input area.
- Type the opening mark into the "Left quote:" field, for example " or '.
- Type the closing mark into the "Right quote:" field, for example " or '.
- Turn on per-line mode when each line should get its own pair of quotes instead of one pair around the whole text.
- Copy the wrapped result from the output area and paste it wherever you need it.
Choose quote characters that don't already appear in your text, otherwise the result can look ambiguous.
