Hello.
There are instances where an epub in my ereader is properly formatted in all other respects except for quotes and apostrophes. So paragraphs and indents are correct and end of sentence punctuation is also correct, but quotes and apostrophes are question marks (?). So a sentence will read: ?I didn?t do it.?, he said. ?Did you??
When I open the epub in Sigil to do a search and replace or in Calibre reader, in neither instance does the program see the strange punctuation. In both these programs the above sentence reads: I didnt do it., he said. Did you?
Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?
Many thanks in advance and in hope.
