Unreferenced date December 2009 expert date August 2007 A nested quotation is a quotation that is encapsulation encapsulated inside another quotation, forming a hierarchy with multiple levels. When focusing on a certain quotation, one must interpret it within its scope . Nested quotation can be used in literature as in nested narration , speech, and computer science as in meta statements that refer to other statements as string computer science strings . Nested quotation can be very confusing until evaluated carefully and until each quotation level is put into perspective. Convention Normally, hierarchical quotation sublevels alternate between using the quotation delimiter nowiki double quote and nowiki single quote . This is normally true, regardless of the quotation style whether the start and end quote symbols are uniform straight quotes or different smart quotes, with the quote symbols at the beginning and end pointing inwards in their respective directions towards the quote text . For straight quotes normally used in plaintext , the alternation between single and double quotes is necessary. For smart quotes, it is not as necessary, since the directional quote symbols behave analogously to nested parentheses , since the delimiters are unique and it is clear where a quote opens beginning a new sublevel and ends ending that sublevel and returning to the outer scope . However, convention dictates that alternating symbols are used either way. Example in literature In literature, a good example of a story that uses nested quotes throughout the entirety of its narration, is Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad . It can be very confusing to English classes because of its complex hierarchical structure of the narrator narrating in the first person, giving the majority of the story to dialog from one character Marlow who speaks in the first person, who quotes many other characters ...
