Bug #: 38724
Summary: VisualEditor: Automatically use "smart quotes" and

option)

>From user suggestion, along the lines of how Microsoft Word works.
This would involve a number of language-specific substitutions (and probably
some shared ones); for English, I believe it would at least involve:
* If a user types the character string 'foo "bar', on the pressing of the 'b'
it would convert the '"' character to a an “.
* If a user types the '"' character whilst in a string that has an “ in
it earlier, convert the character to an ”.
* If a user types in ' - ', on the pressing of the space character after the
hyphen, covert the hyphen to an &endash;.
* If a user types in ' -- ', on the pressing of the space character after the
second hyphen, covert the two hyphens into one &emdash;.
Worth considering as a nice to have; this would probably want to be both
site-configurable (is it available at all; if yes, is it default-on), and
user-configurable.
