Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use smart quotes?
In published text: articles, books, web copy, and design. Use straight quotes in code, configuration files, and programming contexts.
What is an em dash vs en dash?
Em dash (—) is used for interruption in a sentence—like this. En dash (–) is used for ranges (pages 10–20). Convert -- to em dash, - to en dash.
Will smart quotes break my HTML?
Smart quotes are valid Unicode and work in HTML. However, they can cause issues in code, shell scripts, and configuration files — use Straight mode for those.
