Smarten punctuation
It would surly be nice to send a HTML file to "Smarten punctuation".

Is there a method?

Under Calibre Editor, Tools there's 'Smarten Punctuation' that seems to do it

There's also a icon (looks like Right Curly Quotes)

Something other that that?

I am trying to decide if he want to limit it to a single file (the smarten is not on the current window icon bar), the current icon/menu item appears to be 'the BOOK'

smarten $ html file
I do the majority of editing in epp. Being able to run the HTML through smarten simplifies several items. If I load the html to ebook-edit, the output file is an ePub file. Workable but a PITA. Is there a version of smarten independent of ebook-edit?

@crutledge - Yes - Polish Books - select book(s) in calibre book list and Press 'P' - tick the required box(es). Polish has several independently selectable options, of which smarten punctuation is one.

It can also be accessed via the command line see http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/cli/ebook-polish.html

And you can add it to toolbars in Preferences

I didn't know the Polish feature worked on straight HTML files (the OP's question). I thought it was only set to deal with epub and azw3 files.

I wonder if this might help. Getting MarkDown and SmartyPants working with EditPad Pro

SmartyPants
Quote:
SmartyPants is a free web publishing plug-in for Movable Type, Blosxom, and BBEdit that easily translates plain ASCII punctuation characters into “smart” typographic punctuation HTML entities.

SmartyPants can perform the following transformations:

Straight quotes ( " and ' ) into “curly” quote HTML entities
Backticks-style quotes (``like this'') into “curly” quote HTML entities
Dashes (“--” and “---”) into en- and em-dash entities
Three consecutive dots (“...”) into an ellipsis entity
