Subject: [TIP/QUERY] Curly quotes in HTML
Date: Thu, 01 Mar 2012 17:50:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F4FA8BF.1070903@christianmoe.com> (raw)

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&lsquo;")
	 ("'" . "&rsquo;")
	 ("\\(^\\|[ (]\\)\"" . "\\1&ldquo;")
	 ("\"\\([ [:punct:]]\\|$\\)" . "&rdquo;\\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
