Example

<punctuation marks="all"
placement="internal">
All punctuation marks in the source text have been retained and represented using the
 appropriate Unicode code point. In cases where a punctuation mark and nearby markup convey
 the same information (for example, a sentence ends with a question mark and is also tagged
 as <gi>s</gi>) the punctuation mark is captured as content within the element.
</punctuation>

Example

External placement of punctuation:

I would agree with Saint Augustine that “<quote>An unjust law is no law at all</quote>.”

Example

Internal placement of punctuation:

I would agree with Saint Augustine that <quote>“An unjust law is no law at all.”</quote>
