Hi everybody.

I am looking for a method to tweak the Smarten Punctuation feature.

While this feature is really great as seen from a typographic point of view it has one major drawback: there is no way to employ typographic conventions of languages other than English.

The Code of SmartyPants.pl seems to be packaged in Lib\site-packages\calibre\utils\smartypants.pyo which is obviously a compiled file.

Is there anybody out there who can tell me how I can modify this piece of code so that, for example,

Code:

"Sample"

gets converted to

Code:

»Sample« (German style in printed novels)

or

Code:

„Sample“ (German style in general)

?

Thx a lot
Korben.
