(see also https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/661002/270600)
There are two different problems here.
1. Typing "'" now gives a straight apostrophe instead of a curly one by
default.
The solution to this is to add
\definefontfeature[default][default][trep=yes]
somewhere near the start of your document. See this thread
https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2021/104286.html
from last year.
2. ConTeXt ignores the redefinition of predefined entities.
If you run this code:
\enabletrackers[xml.entities]
\xmltexentity{apos}{XXX}
\xmltexentity{lsquo}{YYY}
\xmltexentity{rsquo}{ZZZ}
\xmltexentity{laquo}{«}
\xmltexentity{raquo}{»}
then you get this output:
xml > tex > registering tex entity 'apos' as 'XXX'
xml > tex > registering tex entity 'lsquo' as 'YYY'
xml > tex > registering tex entity 'rsquo' as 'ZZZ'
xml > tex > registering tex entity 'laquo' as '«'
xml > tex > registering tex entity 'raquo' as '»'
xml > core > resolving entity ‘ to internal ''
xml > core > resolving entity ‘ to internal ''
xml > core > resolving entity ' to predefined '''
xml > core > resolving entity « to internal ''
xml > core > resolving entity « to internal ''
xml > core > resolving entity » to internal ''
xml > core > resolving entity » to internal ''
xml > core > resolving entity ’ to internal ''
xml > core > resolving entity ’ to internal ''
xml > tex > passing entity 'lsquo' as 'YYY' using
'ctxcatcodes'
xml > tex > passing entity 'U+27' as ''' using 'ctxcatcodes'
xml > tex > passing entity 'laquo' as '«' using 'ctxcatcodes'
xml > tex > passing entity 'raquo' as '»' using 'ctxcatcodes'
xml > tex > passing entity 'rsquo' as 'ZZZ' using
'ctxcatcodes'
I know of a bad way to fix this (see the linked SE question), but
hopefully someone here knows of a proper solution.
Thanks,
