Hi!

Does anyone know of a program or an online tool which I could use to convert quotes? I am particularly interested in converting texts which use one of the following formats:

Code:

&quot; text &quot; (1)
' text ' (2)

Into:

Code:

&ldquo; text &rdquo;

While I can to (1) reasonably well using a sequence of regexp, I am at a loss with (2) since the apostrophes can appear inside sentences and words (words such as don't). I would rather use something which does most of the work automatically.
