Hi,

The new smart quotes algorithm does not seem to capture British style
quoting (single outer quotes, double inner quotes) correctly. It treats all
single quotes that are not enclosed in double quotes as apostrophes. I
assume that it was revised to deal with apostrophes that occur on the
outside of words, and I saw that it was updated again just last week to
deal with some edge cases. Do you think that there is an easy way to make
it recognise single outer quotes without sacrificing the recent gains, or
would it be better just to treat American style quoting as the standard for
source files, and just add an en-gb entry to org-export-smart-quotes-alist
that converts double quotes to single quotes and vice versa?

Thanks,
Leonard
