Hi,

I have an HTML file which loses all the quotation marks when I try to convert it to another format, usually MOBI or EPUB. Separately I can load the HTML file into a browser (Safari) or a basic word processor (TextEdit) and the quotation marks are visible. I even tried saving it as a text file in TextEdit and then loading it, but just got garbage in place of the quotation marks.

Previously I have converted HTML files using Calibre without a problem. I have no idea about HTML formatting, but I assume it is something with the source file that is affecting Calibre.

Any ideas how to fix this, either with Calibre or the source file?

Thanks.
