However, the apostrophe and the right single quotation mark are also (semantically) different characters, but now the apostrophe is output as the same character as the right single quotation mark! More importantly, this change also makes searching for words with the concerned characters (apostrophe and hyphen) more difficult (or unnatural) in "less". -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
