Smart quotes – free version – turn them off
-
Is there any way of turning off smart quotes in the free features version of WordPress? When I put a straight apostrophe in I want it to stay as a straight apostrophe.

For the benefit of anyone picking this up on search, the best solution I’ve found so far is to type up your post, copy it out to a file, give it to perl -pe “$_ =~ s/’/'/g” and paste it back in.
If there’s a quicker way of doing it than that, wordpress, now would be the ideal time to say so.

Oops I forgot that my post would get interpreted by the forum software. The second ' in my Perl code above should actually be six characters – &,a,p,o,s, and ; , ie the HTML entity for an apostrophe.
