Can anyone please teach/give me the correct GREP formula for converting any text between typographer's
double quote marks (left and right) to a QUOTE character style and anything outside the quotes to be in the para style.
Important: A single paragraph might have several quotes with plain text in between each one.
i.e. "Quote charater style" Body paragraph style "Quote character style" Body paragraph style "Quote character style"
THANKS!

    Hi @Susie Curry, here an example of using a grep style to do what you ask. See attached demo document.

    The grep I used is:

    “[^”]+”

      It might work with nested styles.

       

      None - up to - typographer quote (you can copy and paste the left quote )

      Char Style - up to - right quote

       

      And then you set a repeat.

       

      Once you bild the sequence it should work.

       

       

      But.... Can you provide examples as it's always best, who knows, maybe GREP style might suit.

       

      But I do think from your description a nested style would work.
