<p>Commas and periods should generally be inside quotation marks, not outside. This command helps find and replace them:</p>
<code class="terminal"><span><b>se</b> interactive-sr "/\v([’”])([,.])/\2\1/" src/epub/text/*</span></code>
<p>When using this command, be careful to distinguish between the use of <code class="html">’</code> as a quotation mark and its use in elision or as part of a plural possessive (i.e. <code class="html">s’</code>).</p>
