Which pair of quotes # is used depends on the nesting level of quotes: the number # of occurrences of ‘open-quote’ in all generated text before # the current occurrence, minus the number of occurrences of # ‘close-quote’. If the depth is 0, the first pair is used, # if the depth is 1, the second pair is used, etc. If the # depth is greater than the number of pairs, the last pair is # repeated. David Baron suggests to possibly reword things so that part of the paragraph is an approximate summary of the behavior, followed by an exact set of rules: | 'Open-quote' refers to the first of a pair of quotes, | 'close-quote' refers to the second. Which pair of quotes is used | depends on the nesting level of quotes. The nesting level begins | at 0 at the start of the document, and then, by a depth-first | traversal of the document, it is incremented at every occurrence | of 'open-quote' or 'no-open-quote', and decremented at every | occurrence of 'close-quote' or 'no-close-quote' other than those | that would make it negative. The quotation mark rendered for an | open-quote is the first quotation mark in the pair of quotes at | the nesting level after that open-quote, unless that nesting level | is greater than the number of pairs, in which case the first | quotation mark in the last pair is repeated. Likewise, for | close-quote, the quotation mark rendered is the second quotation | mark in the pair of quotes at the nesting level before that | close-quote, unless that nesting level is greater than the number | of pairs, in which case the second quotation mark in the last pair | is repeated, or unless that depth is 0, in which case no quotation | mark is rendered.
