Hi everyone,
I've noticed that when I use quotation marks in conjunction with an em dash
(—), org-export-smart-quotes gets confused and forgets to activate smart
quotes for the closing quotation mark.
If my org-mode file contains a sentence like this...
A [[
http://spp.sagepub.com/content/early/2015/01/23/1948550614568867.abstract][new
study]] published in Psychological and Personality Science has found that
helping other people---what scientists call being "prosocial"---increases
your odds of finding a long-term relationship.
...then it exports to HTML like this:
A new study
<http://spp.sagepub.com/content/early/2015/01/23/1948550614568867.abstract>
published
in Social Psychological and Personality Science has found that helping
other people—what scientists call being “prosocial"—increases your odds of
finding a long-term relationship.
Note the non-smart closing quotation mark. Does anyone know a fix for this?
Thanks!
Jay

The regexps are probably looking for spaces - try
... people --- what scientists call being "prosocial" --- increases

Hi Nick,
Thanks for the suggestion. Putting extra spaces in the original solves the
smart quotes issue, but creates unwanted spaces on either side of the em
dash:

of finding a long-term relationship.

I understand but I can't really help. If I'm right that the regexps are
looking for a space[fn:1] (and that's a big if), then the only way to
fix it is to modify one or more of them (see
org-export-smart-quotes-regexps, which btw is a defconst, so not really
meant to be modified), but I'm not up to that task.
Let's hope that I'm wrong and somebody comes up with a simpler solution.
Nick
Footnotes:
[fn:1] or, rather, for something that the dash does not
satisfy

I updated the algorithm for "smart" quotes. It's not perfect, but should
at least DTRT in your example.
