this is the weird part I did that and while everything is now converting properly to LRF when I convert the same document to MOBI I get those blocks instead of commas or dashes.
it's the weirdest thing. I'm thinking I had to have changed some setting in Wordpad (but wordpad doens't have many settings to mess up!) I do almost all my html coding in word pad. Though sometimes i open it in Word and do the replace all stuff (am thinking of moving to Notepad++ instead)
This is driving me a bit nuts now. the code works for one format conversion but not another and I'm not sure at what stage of the process the commas and dashes got converted to smart quotes or how to remove them from a document and switch them out with regular text.
