How do we contribute "double" and 'single' quotes on the back cover?

For instance:

Quote:
This is a documentary about the 25th and last bombing mission of a B17, the "Memphis Belle."


How would you contribute that in the Overview?

Overviews and Easter Eggs

Overviews
Overviews should match the back of the DVD case exactly, including capitalization of words exactly as it is shown on the back of the case. If words are highlighted in italic or bold on the case, then identify them with ‘single quotation’ marks.  Exception: If the entire overview uses an uppercase font, enter the overview using standard capitalization rules.
Never include the following items in overviews:

    * Taglines
    * Reviews (unless they are incorporated into the text of the overview on the case)
    * Extra features
    * Hyperlinks or other HTML

For multi-language cases, use only the language of the DVDs locality.

When there is no overview on the case, add a simple, self-written overview of 1-2 paragraphs. Do not include spoilers and always match the overview language to the profile's locality.

For Concert / Music Videos you may include a listing of Song titles and length, if available.

Easter Eggs
Easter Eggs are extra features hidden on the disc and not accessible through an obvious menu option. Be sure to match language of the Easter eggs to the profile's locality.

Never include:

    * Extra features accessible through normal menu options.
    * Continuity Errors
    * Normal extras that you think may be overlooked

I believe the part in bold is the relevant section you want Enry.

If the back cover uses double or single quotes, then we do too. I know we also add single quotes if a word is italicized, but we still use them as quotes if that's what the DVD cover does.

Hope this answers your question!

Exactly... if you see it in the overview on the case... we put it in the profile... as long as it is possible to do so.
