Unfancy Quote is your friend: http://www.semiologic.com/software/unfancy-quote/ I absolutely despise the fact that WP tries for quote trickery from the very beginning - those obnoxious quotes are the bane of browsers' existence on non-'Doze platforms, so I do my very best to strip them out. _______________________________________________ wp-testers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers
