I didn't think to first check the Admin Moderator posts:

They know about it and they're working on it.

It evolves each copy and paste, lol

It's a problem with cut and paste of certain forms of specific punctuations.

“ comes out as “
” comes out as ”
Replace them with "

’ comes out as ’
Replace them with '

— comes out as —
Replace them with -

[The problem forms were only posted above with HTML code]

I rewrite the article and eliminate the original contractions with the real words. That helps somewhat.

On quotes I put a : mark and space down for the quote. That helps somewhat too.

Better late than never. I was linking them in case you may have wanted to see the comments there.

Jim and John are working on it or so it was mentioned in one of those threads.

Good. I generally post it in this box, then proof read and correct it here.

It it’s more complex I use “Komposer”. It’s an html editor much like the old Netscape tool.

It works quite well.

I really liked Netscape 7.2 or so. It had the browser and the editor all included.

I had to scramble to find Firefox and then Kompoaer. I’m as happy with them as I was before.

Glad you use Komposer too. It’s a great tool at the right price. = :^)
