Smart Quotes
Anyone familiar with Textile? It is a tool for textual format to XHMTL. It also convert quotes to smart quotes.
Two links which have an implementation are: I find the first better, special for single quotes. I am thinking of a tool which converts XHTML to Textile format and then use it to convert backup to XHTML. Now, if only I had time... Apparently there are Ruby scripts for it available. Redcloth and Clothred. I also find a site to convert HTML to Textile format. Last edited by Toxaris; 05-31-2010 at 07:22 AM. |

I see 'em failin' too easily
Incorrectly oriented curly quotes are one of my pet peeves, and I always have to check them one by one (except when a single quote appears in the middle of a word, when I can safely assume it's an apostrophe). |

In this post I describe a regular expression which, if a fairly low prerequisites are satisfied, yields quite good results with "smartification". Note: The regexp may fail even when the prerequisites are satisfied, but those cases are quite unusual.
