So, for example, on this page: https://knight.zbigatron.com/review/ai-superpowers-by-kai-fu-lee-review/ you’ll find plenty of open quotation marks. But everything is fine on the published page because I’ve manually entered them in correctly. However, when I was typing in the Gutenberg editor, the marks come out inverted (I always get the closed version of the quotation marks, never the open) and I then have to copy and paste over them or go and edit the HTML directly before hitting the “publish” button. When I paste in the correct left quotation mark, the editor shows it correctly (even before publishing).
Thanks for you response.
I realise the difference between straight and curly quotes, as you mention. What I don’t understand is why my wordpress editor is defaulting to closing single/double curly quotes when it should be displaying the opening quote version like it does in MS Word. Is there a way to fix this in settings somewhere instead of having to resort to using the ALT key each time I want to start a quote?
