Labels: (was: close-pending)
> Markdown module converts all apostrophes to quotation marks
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DOXIA-542
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DOXIA-542
> Project: Maven Doxia
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Module - Markdown
> Affects Versions: 1.4, 1.7
> Reporter: Wolfgang Illmeyer
> Priority: Major
>
> 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:
> {code}

> Also, the resulting apostrophes probably need to be escaped in the HTML.
