# question about comment_text()

 * Is content (comments) called by content_text() defaulted to displaying as a block
   element? I have disabled all styles relating to comments and so I know this default“
   block” display isn’t coming from styles…
 * and I cannot see any way to modify that. Ideas, anyone?
 * I’m trying to include a span before and after that contains opening and close
   quotes that are styled via a class. When I put the spans before and after
 * <span class="bigquote">“</span><span id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>"><?php
   comment_text() ?></span><span class="bigquote">”</span>
 * the opening quote and closing quotes appear on separate lines.
 * Help & insight appreciated!

 * Note that the comment content displayed through comment_text() is placed in paragraph(`
   <p>`) elements. Your formatting would be affected by that.
