Do punctuation marks go inside or outside the quotes?

Answer Hi M5, Periods and commas go inside. Colons and semicolons go outside. Question marks and exclamation points can be either inside or outside. If the mark applies only to the quoted material, it goes inside; if it applies to the whole sentence, it goes outside.
