Smart Quotes?

[jctracey]

I just started using OmniOutliner -- and so far I'm not seeing that it supports smart quotes? Is there any way to accommodate this? For some of the kinds of things I'd be storing in it this is essential.

Thanks.

There are a couple of different things people mean when they refer to “smart quotes” — what are you interested in?

Meaning -- typographers' quotes. Instead of foot and inch marks.

Thanks.

Alt-( left and right square or curly brace ) will get you left/right single/double asymmetric quote marks, in almost any Mac app.

(The normal ASCII ' mark is an apostrophe, but since it's also used for single quotes and “foot” and “prime” and “minutes of arc” and so on, most fonts make it very generic looking.)
