I have a long text with a lot of Html tags. I would like to change

tags?
Have you tried HTML Tidy on your file? Depending on the current
condition of your file, it may do exactly what you want.
I have tried and ended up with double quotes inside tags. HTML Tidy
didn't straighten the smart quotes inside tags, but added straight
ones before and after instead.
Wow! You're absolutely right Mario. I guess I've always had text that
had smart quotes already, so when I chose Markup/Utilities/Translate,
the straight quotes in the tags were automagically ignored.
Perhaps the Educate Quotes menuitem should bring up a dialog -- much
like Translate's -- which allows you to choose to Ignore < and > and
anything between. That would do the trick for you.
In the meantime, perhaps an Applescript to run 2 or 3 steps for you
is the best that you'll get.
