Just made a plugin for WordPress which corrects the way it handles curly quotes under certain situations.

I used to just make hacks to core files to do this, but they changed the core files in version 2.1 and it was easier and more transferable to make a plugin.

So now I’m releasing it to the general public!

Specifically, it stops WordPress making the last speech mark in ‘6’ and “6” into prime and double prime symbols. It also stops WordPress putting a closing speech mark right after the parenthesis in (“hello”) which severely used to irritate me.

It also stops WordPress making the first speech mark in ‘single’ into a closing one. This is good for words like “doesn’t” or “can’t” but not at the beginning of a word! Quite surprised the WordPress Dev Team have let that slip past, actually.

Anyway, download it if you’ve noticed WordPress doing all these things:
