# Quotation Marks When placing quotation marks inside of a string, you'll need to double them. This is because quotation marks open and close a string, and so when you place one inside of a string, it will prematurely terminate the string. Consider `Bob said "hello" to Jim`. If you stringified this, it would look like `"Bob said "hello" to Jim"`. Humans can infer that this was intended to be one whole string, but Skript, just looking for the `"` symbol, will not. Skript will think the line contains two strings; `"Bob said "`hello`" to Jim"`. However, this line makes no sense, resulting in a syntax error. To remedy this, double the nested quotes: `"Bob said ""hello"" to Jim"`. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://x8ight.gitbook.io/syntask/strings/special-characters/quotation-marks.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
