I think it works. It's easiest to go to the chapter "The Spirit of Chivalry in Westminster Hall". The first sentence after the heading has quotations at the beginning and inside a paragraph.
(~-indent has "real" indents, ~-noin has non-breaking spaces) |

Unfortunately I don't have an ePub reader at hand as I write this. Do you mean that the real indent version has the smartquotes right, but the "spaces" version doesn't?

Yes, that's what I mean. If you have no ePub reader at hand, here are two screenshots:

If that's the case you should be able to use the 'replace entity indents' option under heuristics to replace all entity indents with css indents to ensure that non-breaking spaces don't screw up smarten punctuation.

Thank you for this trick, Idolse. I hope the thread opener will not kill us for such an easy solution after all the manual work he's done.

I've just checked in a fix to my branch for this, and I expect it will get in the next release. If someone enables smarten punctuation then Calibre will always run the 'replace entity indents' code before running smarten punctuation.
The work the other posters did still applies to other problems with smarten punctuation - non-breaking space indents aren't the only thing that trips it up. |

This Thread Opener is only too happy for this your easy solution... And the manual work was an excellent opportunity to get some much-needed editing experience. It's all good...

Rajmahid, thank you back for asking this question. I've learnt a lot myself by trying to help. Up until a week ago I really didn't have the slightest idea that Calibre has such a smarten punctuation function.

Now...if someone could provide a similar & easy workaround for converting the UK standard of single quotes to US standard double quotes -- without "harming" single apostrophes -- I'd be doubly (tripply? quadrupally?) grateful MobilRead is a true wonder for those of us who love books...thanks to all!! |

Can you not simply consider it a cultural difference, on a par with the spelling variations between British and American English?

Bottom line, Harry, it's all about personal preference. And if given a choice, I'll always prefer double quotes. End of story -- |

I am also getting the quote issue. The left quote is reversed. I know I can easily go into the ePub and fix it and I will. But why is this happening and can it be fixed?

Jon, which left quotes were reversed? All or only the left quotes at the beginning of a paragraph?
