Why use smart quotes?
Straight quotes are a typewriter artefact. Professional typography uses directional curly quotes — opening
(“) and closing (”) double quotes, and opening (‘) and closing
(’) single quotes. Most word processors convert automatically, but plain text editors, code editors,
and HTML forms do not. This tool does the conversion in one click.
