    Just started with GREP, and inspired by David Blatner, the find in between GREP code only works with paranthesis.
    If I change () to antyhing else like “, all text between the outermost quotation marks will be affected by the character style.
    Can´t show it here but see for yourself if you make a document.
    BTW, if you split the quotation text with a soft retrun, it behaves like the () text.
    What have I missed ?

    Hi (hello) okay. Hi (yes) well.
    (?<=\().+?(?=\))

    Hi ”hello” okay. Hi ”yes” well.
    (?<=”).+?(?=”)

    Well, it suddenly occured to me, the problem lies of course in the fact,
    that a qoute character ” is a single unicode used twice in the GREP code.
    Where as the paranthesis ( ) is of course 2 different unicode´s.

    So I, as a GREP trainee came up with this very simple solution:

    1st GREP linecode: italic style to “.+?”
    2nd GREP linecode: regular style to “+
