I have noticed that when using the "smarten punctuation" component there is a problem with the closing quote when italics are used.

So, where for instance the text is

Code:

"<i>some text</i>"

both the initial and the final quote marks are converted to "opening" or left double quotation marks. This may also affect <b> tags but I haven't checked these as they are less likely to appear.

At present I have to run everything through a saved search after smartening the punctuation to resolve this.

Is this something that hasn't been noted or is the algorithm to avoid it too complex and introduces other unwanted issues ?
