can paragraph styles put a string before/after paragraph

I'd like to create a "quotation" paragraph style that, among other things, actually puts a quotation mark before and after the text. Is that possible?

I know a list style allows me to customize the bullet or numbering to contain whatever string I want, but that doesn't get me a closing quote mark, and it also wouldn't allow the quote itself to be in a list because the quote mark would have to be before the list's built-in tab stop...

Hi,

You can't use strings in front of a page style.
But you can use a workaround by using a Numbering Style
In the Numbering field select None and in the Before field enter the string you need and probably update the positions

And supposing the quote was more than one paragraph?
