<h2 id="quotation">Converting British quotation to American quotation</h2>
<h2 id="quotation">Convert British quotation to American quotation</h2>
<p>If the work you’re producing uses <a href="http://www.thepunctuationguide.com/british-versus-american-style.html">British quotation style</a> (single quotes for dialog and other outer quotes 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. <em>Skip this step if your work is already in American style.</em></p>
<p><code class="bash"><b>se</b> british2american</code> attempts to automate the conversion. Your work must already be typogrified (one of the previous steps in this guide) for the script to work.</p><code class="terminal"><span><b>se</b> british2american <u>.</u></span></code>
<p>While <code class="bash"><b>se</b> british2american</code> 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.</p>
