      Hi

      I was just wondering if there is any difference in using rel='next' rather than rel="next". Would it still work the same way?

      I mean using the apostrophes differently, would it matter?

      Thanks!

        Hi pikka,

        While rel=”next” is used much more commonly based on search engine research for this query, the two do appear to be interchangeable for all intents and purposes. For best practice, it would be recommended to use the more common term rel=”next” just for safety’s sake, but I would not worry about any other terms using the apostrophes just yet.
