  • Converting British quotation to American quotation

    -

    If the work you’re producing uses British quotation style (single quotes for dialog versus double quotes in American), we have to convert it to American style. We use American style in part because it’s easier to programmatically convert from American to British than it is to convert the other way around. Skip this step if your work is already in American style.

    se british2american attempts to automate the conversion. Your work must already be typogrified (the previous step in this guide) for the script to work.

    While se british2american tries its best, thanks to the quirkiness of English punctuation rules it’ll invariably mess some stuff up. Proofreading is required after running the conversion.
