Signature

(article-treat-smartquotes)

Documentation

Translate "Microsoft smartquotes" and other symbols into proper text.

Note that this function guesses whether a character is a smartquote or not, so it should only be used interactively.

Smartquotes are Microsoft's unilateral extension to the iso-8859-1 character map in an attempt to provide more quoting characters. If you see something like \222 or \264 where you're expecting some kind of apostrophe or quotation mark, then try this wash.
