√ Word Plugin: Is there a way to have Word use curly escaping quotes?

wonblee · January 27, 2014

I understand that in XLM, you have to use & quot; for escaping quotes. But with the Word plug-in, escaping quotes come out as straight quotes, not curly quotes, while the quotes that I produced with quotes="true" come out as curly quotes. Is there a way to force the Word Plugin to use curly quotes for escaping quotes as well?

what are escaping quotes?

@adamsmith,
What's the tag for suppressing HTML code parsing in Vanilla?
It will display the quote instead of the escaping code.

but I believe that will still render the html codes. Just leave a space between the & and the rest.

It is & quot;
since you can't use something like prefix=""".

any thoughts, anyone?

sorry, I thought I had posted. Could you explain with an example what you're actually trying to do? You can just put curly quotes into affixes in XML if that's the question.

Thanks! you were absolutely right. Unlike straight quotes, I was able to put curly quotes directly into affixes and prefixes.
