Apostrophe Catastrophe

  • I just successfully installed wordpress and am now working on getting the template set up. I’m having one problem, however. I used the same exact CSS coding on all of my pages, but for some reason, on my WordPress pages, the apostrophes look strangely like commas. This doesn’t happen on any of the other pages I have, with the same coding, and I’m sure that I’m using the same font and CSS.. Any suggestions as to the root of this odd problem? Is it just a wordpress thing or am I just going insane?

    Oh, and it also does something odd when I use the three consecutive dot… thingie… yeah… these… that… are… after… each… word… And another thing, is there a way to make the br tags less wide? It seems like they’re huge to me. Those two are another two things that aren’t due to my CSS. Just wondering if anyone knew about that either.

    Texturize is your friend. Love Texturize.

    I don’t get why I should love texturize. I hate curly quotes! What’s the easiest way to disable it?

    rubyji: I made a mini-plugin, wpuntexturize that turns off automatic curly-quoting (but DOESN’T turn off wptexturize completely). If you want wptexturize off completely, try the mini-plugin I mentioned here, though you probably want to remove the remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop'); line mentioned in it.

    I’m not too happy neither with wptexturize, especially as I paste a lot of code in my blog and it fux0res it up (curly quotes in particular)
    I think I’m going to tweak it so that it only applies when I want to.
