quote inside or outside anchor

[Michael Dinowitz]

Lets say I have a piece of text that is both a quote and an anchor using the Q and A tags. Should the anchor go inside the Q or should the Q go inside the anchor? It's a strange and simple question that might just be style, but it's kind of important for a piece of a redesign in CSS.
Thanks

Since Q and A are both inline elements, it really is just a choice.
Implement it that way that works best with your chosen CSS.

Anchor should go inside the <q> or <blockquote> tags. Since an anchor (<a>)
tag is an inline layout item, it can be contained by, but cannot contain a
block level element (quotes)

Q and A tags. Should the anchor go inside the Q or should the Q go inside
the anchor? It's a strange and simple question that might just be style, but

q is an inline element, not block-level; blockquote is the block-level element.

True, unfortunately, the <q> element is not supported by most browsers.

I still think structurally, that the anchor should go inside both.  But for
inline elements, it really doesn't matter structurally,  do what you think
will work best with the CSS you are trying to write (do you want the anchor
to inherit from the quote, or do you want the quote to inherit from the
anchor?  

When I ask myself that question, I still opt to have the anchor inside the
quote.

That was my thought too - I'd prefer to specify a special a for all q
tags, rather than the other way around.
