Punctuation within quotation marks
0 Hello, 02 br
00 I have a question regarding the use of punctuation within quotation marks. Let's say I have the following: 02 br
02 br
00 "Hello!" he exclaimed. 02 br
02 br
00 Or: 02 br
02 br
00 "Why?" she asked. 02 br
02 br
00 My question is actually specific to using the exclamation point or question mark in the context above. Would I need to capitalize the first letter of the first word following the quotation? Meaning, would I need to rewrite the first example as follows? 02 br
02 br
00 "Hello!" 01 u 00 H 02 u 00 e exclaimed. 02 br
02 br
00 Or is the former correct, in this case? 02 br
02 br
00 Thanks in advance! 0-

0 The former is correct. No capitalization. You might note that the problem arises only with 01 b 01 i 00 ! 02 i 02 b 00 and 01 b 01 i 00 ? 02 i 02 b 00 . Periods (full stops), colons or semicolons would not be used in this situation, but would be replaced by commas. 0-
