Choosing between single and double quotes:

While both options are valid, choosing between them is mainly a matter of personal preference and consistency. However, there are a few scenarios where one might be preferred over the other:

1. Nesting quotes: If your attribute value already contains a single quote, using double quotes around the entire value helps avoid confusion. For example:

<p title="It's a great day!">This is a great day.</p>

1. Readability: When your attribute value contains a mix of single and double quotes, using the opposite quote type can improve readability. For example:

<input type="text" value='He said, "Hello!"'>
