Update on the smart-quotes patch. Supports the odt exporter now too, which I think covers all the current major "new" exporters for which it is relevant (adding smart quotes to ASCII export is a contradiction in terms; should it be in the "publish" exporter? It didn't look like it to me). Added an options keyword, '"' (that is, the double-quote mark) to select smart quotes on/off, and a defcustom for customizing your default. Set the default default [sic] to nil, though actually it might be reasonable to set it to t. Slight touch-up to the regexps since last time, but they will definitely be subject to a lot of fine-tuning as more special cases are found that break them and ways to fix it are found (the close-quote still breaks on one of "/a/." or "/a./") It's pretty good on the whole, though, usually guesses right. I know there's some work being done on the odt exporter; hope this fits in well with it. How does it look to you? ~mark
