Include quotes in inline style

[Gadzy]

I have a class that I apply to a span to format it a bit different to show an action someone must take.\[code\]<p>Example of styling a <span style="background-color:#ccc; color:#066; font-weight:900; padding:0 8px;">Button</span> press.</p>\[/code\]This example shows an inline style but it will eventually be in a class. What I want to know is is it possible to add angle brackets around the text as part of the styling? I know that \[code\]<q>\[/code\] can achieve this but I want this to be part of the styling information. Is this possible in anyway.Many thanks for any help in advance.
