Hi,

When I type English, I usually use straight quotes ('/"), especially 
in Emacs, as curly quotes (‘’/“”), though available from the keyboard, 
are difficult to see with the fixed-with font I prefer.

I have put this in my .emacs to get curly-quote output in HTML export:

(setq org-export-html-special-string-regexps
       (append
        '(("\\(^\\|[ \"(]\\)'" . "\\1‘")
	 ("'" . "’")
	 ("\\(^\\|[ (]\\)\"" . "\\1“")
	 ("\"\\([ [:punct:]]\\|$\\)" . "”\\1"))
	org-export-html-special-string-regexps))

The advantage of going through org-export-html-special-string-regexps, 
I think, is that Org does smart replacements, so I don't accidentally 
e.g. replace straight quotes in code blocks. The regexps catch most 
combinations of quotes and punctuation.

Query: Anyone using any other, perhaps better, tricks?

Yours,
Christian

  I like -- for mdash and === for separator:
  
  (setf org-export-html-special-string-regexps
        `(
          ("^-----$" . "<hr/>")          ;see also === below
          ("---\\([^-]\\|$\\)" . "&mdash;\\1")
          ("--\\([^-]\\|$\\)" . "&mdash;\\1")
          ("^===$" .
           "<hr width=\"10%\";
  style=\"width:10%;color:#000;background-color:#000;height:1px;border:none;\"
  />")
          ,@org-export-html-special-string-regexps))
