Nicolas,

Thank you for your response. I= now see that I had misunderstood the documentation.

Also, it occurs to me that one can make use of single quotation marks as= primary quotes when mentioning a word without using it. Moreover, when ita= lics and double quotation marks are also present, the use of single quotati= ons as primary is necessary. For example:

'GNU' is an acronym for the ph= rase "GNU's Not Unix!" but GNU is an operating system and = not an acronym.

Is it feasible to add an option to treat single quotati= on marks as primary pairs on export?

Thanks,=

Only within primary quotes! If there are no primary quotes around, you
don't need a second level of quotation, and single quotes are not
special.
