I was asked a punctuation question I can't answer, and I am looking for informed help: Does the "punctuation within quotes" rule hold true if you're talking about heights? Which way should I end the sentence? 5’11.” or 5'11". My seat-of-the-pants answer is period last in a case like this where the " symbol is not being used as a quotation mark, but that is only an impression. I would be grateful for information from others who know the convention.
