Just didn't thought about that one...

In other words, while using the plugin, it's easy enough to add code in the

Sure - I could easily reconvert them (” goes " and ’ goes ') -
but that would make it impossible to use the curly quotes within code - or I
would have to add some  escape rules. Will update it this evening (its
9:25am in germany now)

Any suggestions or whishes? Does anyone use (or need) curly quotes inside
code?
