Smarten punctuation only?
Hi folks!
I've been using Sigil to code my first epub, and as I get closer to completing it I thought a nice typographical "tweak" would be to get all my apostrophes and quotation marks converted to "smart" (or "curly") ones. I searched around to see if there was an easy way to do this, and discovered that Calibre has it built right in! Yippee! So I ran my epub through it (making sure to back it up first), but Calibre invariably changes all my code all over the place and makes a total mess of things. I'm utterly unfamiliar with Calibre, but is there a way that I could use the "smarten punctuation" feature ONLY, and leave absolutely everything else alone, and not mess with my HTML or CSS or anything else? |

The Modify Epub plugin will allow you to smarten the punctuation without doing a wholesale conversion, as will the "Polish books" feature of calibre (may need to add it to an existing toolbar/menu in preferences).
