I was actually using 'educate', and it was still converting them. I would be quite surprised if 'educate' were to make a difference, because as far as Kid was concerned, it was just plain text which happened to look a bit like HTML tags. I wasn't calling XML() or anything else to give Kid any hints that it shouldn't be doing its normal transformations on the text (this was intentional because I *wanted* the tags to be escaped). If the 'educate' option is supposed to automatically detect what looks like HTML in running text by some sort of heuristic, and avoid converting smart quotes in it, then perhaps it wasn't working for some reason - is this the case? If so, maybe I should work harder to reproduce it in case I've managed to find some minor bug somewhere?
