@eschwartz,
@mzmm:

as to the quotes: In a direct speech, for example:

"Du, Du willst doch nur ...",

the first upper case 'Du' should be maintained, whereas the second should be lower case.

But if the sentence is:

"Blah, blah, blah", sagte Er, "Du, Du willst doch nur...",

all the personal pronouns ('Er', 'Du') should be lower case, for the direct speech is only continued; in the first example it is starting the sentence.

BTW: Instead of " ", I use right and left angled quotation marks (guillemts).

Many thanks so far, and I hope it has become clearer!
