is that in regards to valid mark-up and cross browser? Or just GUI? This is an IE/Win only product so not in the cross browser department. The things I like about this product are the quality of the mark up customisation tools available. The entire interface is controlled via an XML file, so

I believe that for quotes it's handy to use the entities because you define proper opening and closing quotes, instead of using the uni-directional default as defined on the keyboard. It's probably safest to use entities in all your text, as then they have no way of conflicting with the actual
