I am wondering whether quotes need to be included in text positioning.

See example below:



Is this correct?
Or should the quotes be disregarded when positioning the text?

What's the best way to align a highlighted quote in an article, in relation to the positioning of the body text?

For me, I'd use hanging punctuation.

Essentially you ignore the quotes and align to text. The punctuation (quote mark) hangs outside the column edge. This is very common in typesetting and dates back to the Gutenberg bible.

Overall hanging punctuation helps the alignment of text appear more solid or uniform.
