Quotation marks
I was having this problem just now and have chosen to use the straight
quotation marks but thought I'd copy paste an example of the issue I'm having clarify. I made sure there are no unclosed quotations elsewhere in the text so I have no clue why it is looking like this... see below. I am writing a sentence and now €žI want to quote something€ś but obviously these quotes dont look correct! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: "Upside-down" is a subjective description.
