Have you looked around the web lately?
KeenWrite (https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite
<https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite>), my plain text editor, can
neither convert nor easily type curly quotes into the application.
Recently, I added ConTeXt integration for exporting to PDF files.
ConTeXt doesn't curl the quotes, which I found a little surprising
(because LaTeX has a quote curling package). Not seeing an obvious
solution, I coded my own library because all the other libraries I found
were either not up to the task or required a massive natural language
parser dependency.
My workflow will be: Edit plain text in KeenWrite, export to XHTML, curl
the quotes, run ConTeXt to typeset XHTML.
Another workflow: Edit plain text in KeenWrite, export to XHTML, curl
the quotes, upload to CMS.
The problem is that when typewriters were invented, curly quotes didn't
make it onto the popular layouts. Then, after Unicode, curly closing
single quotes and curly apostrophes were not made unique. HTML entities
get it right, though, with l/rdquo, l/rsquo, and apos. C'est la vie.
what do you mean with 'latex curls quotes' .. can you give an example
