Redcloth upwards - Sep 2006 - quotes

Hello!

I''m new on this list (and actually pretty new to redcloth also).

This e-mail is about the wery fine feature of converting quotes. I''m
norwegian, and we have our own qoutes: "?" and "?".

I therefore hacked this feature, so it is now in lib/redcloth.rb,
around line 404, so I now have:

        [ /([^\s\[{(>#{PUNCT_Q}][#{PUNCT_Q}]*)"/,
''\1»'' ], #
	double closing -- Henriks hack for norske hermetegn
        [ /"(?=[#{PUNCT_Q}]*[\s#{PUNCT_NOQ}])/,
''»'' ], # double
	closing -- Henriks hack for norske hermetegn

        [ /"/, ''«'' ], # double opening
	# Henriks hack for norske hermetegn

 

(the "raquo" and "laquo" thing)

That''s wery fine, exept I''ll have to do it again in the next
update
for redcloth..

I therefore wonder if it''s possible to get support for norwegian
qoutes inn redcloth in a smarter way?

Regards
Henrik Orm?sen

FWIW, Polish typography uses ?this style?, while, for example, Czech
uses ?this style? (different closing quote). It would be great if this
could be solved universally.
