213022 - <q> Tag Does Not Use Alternate Quotes Properly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 24861

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Robert Uhl]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701

Using these stylesheet declarations:

q {
  quotes: '\2018' '\2019' '\201C' '\201D';
}

q:before {
  content: open-quote;
}

q:after {
  content: close-quote;
}

This string:

<p>Tom said <q>hello there little kid who wrote <q>hello</q></q> to the little
kid.</p>

Should render something like:

Tom said `hello there little kid who wrote ``hello'' ' to the little kid.

Instead, it renders as:

Tom said `hello there little kid who wrote `hello' to the little kid.

Incidentally, the <q> tag doesn't properly display opening and closing quotes by
default, but rather shows foot markers (e.g. ").  That's another bug, though:-)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put the preceding css code into a stylesheet
2. Put the preceding HTML string into a webpage which uses that stylesheet
3. Load it and read the string

Actual Results:  
Tom said `hello there little kid who wrote `hello' to the little kid.

N.b. this is a facsimile

Expected Results:  
Tom said `hello there little kid who wrote ``hello'' ' to the little kid.
