So as an example:
/em briefly skimmed the menu, "well do I want the pork of the beef? Or maybe I'd rather get a soup and salad instead. What if I actually just want a sandwhich?" as he continued to go through all the options.
I know I'm supposed to use " [..] 'just a sandwich,' [...] ," but it's always felt odd after years of "programming text 1", "programming text 2", "programming text 3". Especially when the meaning carries over just the same.
I think using the question mark after sandwich would be acceptable; the punctuation here can imply something about the tone of his voice. At least, I would infer something about the tone of his voice, based on whether there was ? or a , there.
Sometimes rules can be ignored a little bit if they get in the way of what you're trying to convey. That's the fun thing about art!
