Quotation Marks in Rise 360
Does anyone know if the quotation marks in the Quotes block can be removed?
I want to use the quote block, without the quote marks.
Please advise. /jc

Quotation marks are unpredictable when using bullets as you can see in this image where I have not intentionally entered any:
Hi, Loren. I tested the Quote C block, but I didn't get additional quotation marks in the bulleted list. Generally, the quote blocks weren't designed with extra text formatting in mind, but I really like how you organized the quote with bullets.
If you are consistently getting weird formatting, connect with us 1 on 1 by clicking here. We can dig in with you and see if we can get the quote to appear how you expect. Thanks!
Yes please
Hey there! The quote is there as a design element, and there isn't a way to remove it as of now. Thanks for letting us know you'd like to see this as an option!
If it's a design element, it is a graphic and could be easily removed. You could just create a block that is a variation on the original.
Thank you!

I would think from another point of view. The quotation mark currently isn't localization-friendly.
It's assumed that all languages around the world can apply the same quotation mark. But unfortunately there are several occurrences that different marks have been used in different countries / regions.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this feature, folks! We're tracking your requests and we'll make sure to update you here if this becomes available in the future.
Definitely agree on this modification - I want to be able to add a small icon or picture next to text, but it's not usually a quotation I'm working with. It's like a callout, warning, or instruction.
Bumping this. The quote feature would be ideal for icons and header text if it weren't for the built-in quote marks. What's the point in sparing us the labor of manually typing quote marks?
Quote Carousel feature - I can resize the font, make it bold, italics etc. However the quotation marks are permanently set and unadjustable. Surely the developers never intended this? Please can any formatting changes in the quote carousel immediately be reflected in the quotation marks. Many learners are visually impaired which renders the quotation marks not FFP for larger font. It seems the most minor of requests always get a polite "thanks for you feedback!" followed by "if we can...". Then nothing is done about it...ever. Seriously Articulate? You charge a lot for this and I'm sure we all champion your brand. At least justify our faith in you and get the basics right.
Second this! Surely this can't be a big fix?
For anyone who's following this thread, I'm using a work around for the project I'm on now.
Quote blocks B & D allow you to leave either the quote or the author's name blank. You can type your statement, instructions, etc. in one of those fields, delete the other, and adjust your font size so it looks cohesive with the rest of your design. It may look like alignment is off when you're editing, but when you preview, everything sorts out nicely.
It won't help everyone, but it's something to experiment with while we wait for this update.
Thanks for the tip, Holly. I had a folder of icons I couldn't use before. You win Workaround of the Year!
Hi all,
Just chiming in that I would also really appreciate if you would add the ability to remove the quotation marks.
Thanks!
