Hi again Soren,
It may not be the most elegant solution, but import the two attached
tiddlers (you may have to remove the .txt ending) to your tiddlywiki and
reload it. Then all you "test" will be replaced by “test” (the difference
is hard to spot with the default font though). Actually, you can choose any
character or string to replace the quotes with in $:/me/smartquote.css.
However, we add them by using ::before and ::after in css, so you will not
be able to select or copy the quotes themselves..
Best,
Anders
