Curling straight quotation marks
Hey folks, I re-wrote the algorithm KeenWrite uses for curling straight quotes. The new algorithm is fairly robust with respect to North American and British English. Could use help finding edge cases: https://whitemagicsoftware.com/keenquotes/ I use it for preprocessing documents prior to passing them to ConTeXt. Cheers!

Just use \quotation and \quote, then you have the right settings for many languages and can also be sure that quotes get closed and are consistent over the whole document. Hraban

Thanks Hraban. That won't work with my workflow. I edit in Markdown (plain text), transform to XML, then pass the XML to ConTeXt. When I edit the document, I want to use ' and " without tying the document to TeX. This gives me a complete separation of content from presentation logic. Figured it might be helpful if others have the same workflow. Cheers!
