Colin:
The beauty of smart quotes is that I don't have to see the ugly LaTeX
formatting in my org file, but the final document has the corresponding
opening and closing quote characters. While I do sprinkle some LaTeX here
and there in my org files, I think that would be going a little too far for
my taste.
Thanks anyway!
Martin
