Hi,

Title says it all—I saw an earlier item here about this, but it was from 2011 and so I wanted to see if there was any more current info.

Thanks!

If you want it to auto replace then you’ll have to follow the instructions in this thread, as this was never added as part of the core add-on, and likely won’t be.

Thanks, that works just fine for the curly quotes. So a follow-up: I’ve got the curly quotes now, but I’d also like the apostrophe to be the typographically correct version, but what is being rendered is '

Any ideas on that?

Haven’t tested but I assume the following should work:

$data = str_replace(''', '’', $data);

Hi, and thanks for the speedy reply!

So that’s not doing for the typographic apostrophe, I’m still getting the

' 

.

So two questions: this is what I put in my ft.expresso.php file:

$data = str_replace('"', '"', $data);
   $data = str_replace(''', '’', $data);
        $options = array(
         'text_format' => 'xhtml', 

Does that look right?

Other question: I notice in the Expresso settings in EE this line: “Additional Entities to Escape” and “#39,#123,#125”

Would I need to do something with the #39?

Ah in that case this should work:

$data = str_replace(''', '’', $data);
