Nicolas, Thank you for your response. I now see that I had misunderstood the documentation.
Also, it occurs to me that one can make use of single quotation marks as primary quotes when mentioning a word without using it. Moreover, when italics and double quotation marks are also present, the use of single quotations as primary is necessary. For example: 'GNU' is an acronym for the phrase "GNU's Not Unix!" but GNU is an > operating system and *not *an acronym. Is it feasible to add an option to treat single quotation marks as primary pairs on export?
