I've only seen the movie-version of The Hunger Games, and have yet to read the books. Is it explained where the bodies of the dead Tributes go, if they are removed at all?


Question: Change face of plain text between double quotation marks in Emacs
Answer: For the regexp, I think you want to exclude " itself in the string content, except when escaped.  Something like this --- ", followed by either a non " or an escaped character, followed by ":

\"\\([^\"]\\|\\\\\\(.\\|[\n]\\)\\)*\"


But be aware that matching quotations "..." is notorious.  I do exactly that in Info+, but there are a few Info nodes where this highlighting gets thrown off by the occasional lone \" or ?\" in manuals that refer to such programming constructs.
