Comment (by poena):

 @joedolson Hi! This ticket brings up theme "continue reading" links and
 "edit post" links that combine a text with a visually hidden post title.

 In the themes that are mentioned in the ticket, the post title is inside
 double quotes (").
 Example:


 {{{
 the_content(
         sprintf(
         /* translators: %s: Post title. Only visible to screen readers. */
         __( 'Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text">
 "%s"</span>', 'twentyseventeen' ),
         get_the_title()
         )
 );
 }}}

 Is there any accessibility benefit to placing the post title within
 quotes?

 The themes are Twenty Sixteen, Twenty Seventeen, and Twenty Nineteen, so
 it is not consistent across all default themes.
 For example Twenty Fifteen uses the following code:

 {{{
 the_content(
         sprintf(
                 /* translators: %s: Post title. Only visible to screen
 readers. */
                 __( 'Continue reading %s', 'twentyfifteen' ),
                 the_title( '<span class="screen-reader-text">', '</span>',
 false )
         )
 );
 }}}
