Curly quote code problem with iPad

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have not switched to the block editor, so maybe the problem I am going to describe does not happen with it.

    Anyway, when I am using my iPad, I prefer to simply type out the HTML code for links in the Text editor. For example:

    Blog

    But when I save it, the coded line turns out like this:

    Blog

    Note the addition of the two straight quotes, as well as the removal of “ https:
    The second curly quote is retained.

    Needless to say, the hyperlink does not work.

    I know that the problem lies with the curly quotes, but heck if I know how to fix it. Is there a workaround or something?

    TIA.

    P.S. I do not have this problem with my Mac.

    Oops, I don’t know why that second link is working (it doesn’t work on my blog), but let me add some spaces so you can see the code.

    1st: Blog

    2nd: Blog

    Hope this works. (We need a preview button)
