Actually, I'm interested in the answer to this, as well, because correlating the quotes has been a real issue for me; in CV, Sigil seems to distinquish between curly quotes and straight quotes in what I see with my eyes, but I can't seem to figure out an easy way to correct the quotes--whether I'm typing in CV or BV, straight quotes are inserted and that's what shows up in the finished product. The standard &ldquot; and &rdquot; display differently than the rest of my books; to make everything match, I have to cut-and-paste existing quotes from inside the text to the new text (or over the quote that is incorrectly displaying).

In other words, I don't understand what is going on behind the scenes that's making them come out differently. CV gives me no clues to this, and if this is one of those "everybody knows that..." items, I'm not one of the everybodies. ;-) Thx in advance for any helpful input!
