`«TEXT» and "TEXT"` are use for quoting /citation. The marks are used at the beginning and the end of the cited text.

Example:

"Of all things, I liked books best."

«Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.»

N. Tesla.

`- TEXT` is used for dialogue. Example:

&nbsp;-&nbsp;Do you have some water ?

&nbsp;-&nbsp;Yes.

&nbsp;-&nbsp;It is cold ?

&nbsp;-&nbsp;No.

Dash ( **-** ) can also be used as a pause line.

Example:

&nbsp;–&nbsp; What's your name ?

&nbsp;– &nbsp;Like my grandfather **-** Michael.
