I did some tests:
Code:
<html><body>
"Calvin said so."
<p>
Enter the "Kraken".
</body></html>
Converted with Calibre to a .mobi (old format) looks alright, but with the quotes being really just hash marks (as shown in the code).
However, select the "smarten punctuation" and old .mobi and the output is:
" Calvin said so."
Enter the " Kraken". |
Sounds like a bug in Calibre. With that said, that's seriously bad source HTML:
1. All text in HTML must be in a block element, e.g. a <p> tag.
2. All block elements must be closed (</p>).
I wouldn't be surprised if that caused Calibre's parser to vomit.
