Please comment on putting the comma outside of the quotation mark.  I
thought I was taught that commas and periods always go inside quotation
marks.  Only question marks and exclamation points varied depending on
whether the quoted material was asking the question or showing the
emotion.
 
A Harbrace College Handbook shows the title of an article at the end of
an introductory phrase and places the comma inside the quotation mark.
Comments would be appreciated.
