I've been using square brackets [ and ] for validator notes. Should I put
everything in angle brackets? For example I put a note before and after block
quotes. Should they have angle brackets instead of square brackets?
<start block quote> rather than [start block quote]
I like the idea of having some sort of standardization, not absolute rules, but
suggestions about "best practices".
Thanks for clarifying,
Devorah

Hi Marilyn and Lori,
Thanks for writing for clarification -- here's an example:
<Photo caption: The author outside his childhood home, 1978>
The keystroke used for the angle brackets are the shift key with the comma key
for the open bracket
And the shift key with the period key for the close bracket.
Hope this helps!
Beautiful day,

Hi, Pavi.
I don't understand where the actual words "Photo caption:" go --
inside or outside the
angle brackets? Could you show me a small sample?
