I usually convert all kinds of quotation marks into \quotation{} / \quote{}
using the regex search of my editor; a regex replacement is also part of my
docx-to-ConTeXt converter script. (I see no need to avoid regexes, but YMMV.)
The biggest problem I face are mixed and wrong quotation marks, e.g. English
marks in a German text, a mixture of curly/straight marks, traditional LaTeX q.
marks and similar mistakes. Some programs have a default of English single
quotes with German double quotes :(
In what kind of workflows does your program make sense?
(Please don’t be offended, my view is limited.)
