Hi,
When I type English, I usually use straight quotes ('/"), especially
in Emacs, as curly quotes (‘’/“”), though available from the keyboard,
are difficult to see with the fixed-with font I prefer.
I have put this in my .emacs to get curly-quote output in HTML export:
(setq org-export-html-special-string-regexps
(append
'(("\\(^\\|[ \"(]\\)'" . "\\1‘")
("'" . "’")
("\\(^\\|[ (]\\)\"" . "\\1“")
("\"\\([ [:punct:]]\\|$\\)" . "”\\1"))
org-export-html-special-string-regexps))
The advantage of going through org-export-html-special-string-regexps,
I think, is that Org does smart replacements, so I don't accidentally
e.g. replace straight quotes in code blocks. The regexps catch most
combinations of quotes and punctuation.
Query: Anyone using any other, perhaps better, tricks?
Yours,
Christian
