pandoc-quotes is a filter for Pandoc that replaces
plain, that is, non-typographic, quotation marks with typographic ones.
You can define which typographic quotation marks to replace plain ones with
by setting either a document's quotation-marks, quotation-language,
or lang metadata field. Typically, it should "just work".
See the manual page for more details.
If you are using Pandoc 2.0 or newer, you will want to use pandoc-quotes.lua instead; it's easier to install and faster.
pandoc represents documents as abstract syntax trees, and quotations are
nodes in that tree. However, pandoc-quotes replaces those nodes with the
content of the quotation, adding proper quotation marks. Put another way,
pandoc-quotes pushes quotations from the syntax of a document's
representation into its semantics. As a consequence, pandoc will no longer
recognise quotes. Also, filters running after pandoc-quotes won't either.
Therefore, you should not use pandoc-quotes with output formats that
represent quotes syntactically (e.g., HTML, LaTeX, ConTexT). Also, it should
be the last or one of the last filters you apply.
You use pandoc-quotes at your own risk. You have been warned.
You need Python 2.7 or newer, panflute, and PyYAML.
Simply run:
pip install pandoc_quotes
This will try to install pandoc-quotes manual page, but this
will only work on a limited number of systems.
Alternatively, you can also download the source for the current version.
Simply run:
curl https://codeload.github.com/odkr/pandoc-quotes/tar.gz/v0.6.0 | tar -xz cd pandoc-quotes-0.6.0 python setup.py install
See the manual page and the source for details.
