Wolfgang Illmeyer created DOXIA-542:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Markdown module converts all apostrophes to quotation mark
Key: DOXIA-542
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DOXIA-542
Project: Maven Doxia
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Module - Markdown
Affects Versions: 1.7, 1.4
Reporter: Wolfgang Illmeyer
Whenever there is some text in a markdown file containing an apostrophe
(U+0027, e.g. »don't«), it is seemingly unconditionally replaced by a »right
single quotation mark« (U+2019).
The problem seems to be an out-of-whack »smart« feature of the underlying
pegdown library, which is supposed to perform all kinds of typographic black
magic. I'd suggest disabling that (or at least make it configurable), because
apostrophes are not quotation marks and modern keyboard layouts have all the
fancy typographic characters such as different length dashes, ellipses, and all
sorts of quotation marks already easily available.
The fix is relatively trivial:

But this makes some tests fail and I didn't have the time to figure out how to
fix them.
Also, the resulting apostrophes probably need to be escaped in the HTML.
I tested the patch with 1.7.
