This indentifies paragraphs where a opening smart quote is not matched with a closing smart quote and joins that paragraph with the next one. Its not fool proof, but saves a lot of time.
I use calibre conversion to switch straight quotes to smart quotes. Its under "Look Feel", check by "smarten punctuation". Easier to fix its mistakes than to find and fix 'em all.
Good Luck! |
This is fantastic and works great. I swapped the double quotes to single quotes then to find those within the string. It also found a couple of wrong direction quotes for me as well. Edit: And found a few instances of 2 single quotes where a double quote should have been.
Is there a way to find the reverse situation, to find paragraphs where there is an ending quote but was no starting quote at the beginning of the paragraph?
