Fix quote characters that break code and data

Word processors often replace straight quotes with typographic versions. That looks good in prose but can break source code, JSON, shell commands, CSV parsing and exact searches.

This converter changes only quote-like characters. It does not alter the surrounding words.

When should I keep curly quotes?

Keep them in normal publishing when your style calls for typographic punctuation.

When should I convert them?

Straight quotes are safer for code, configuration, command lines, identifiers and many data formats.

Are apostrophes converted too?

Yes. Curly apostrophes and common accent-like substitutes are converted to a straight apostrophe.
