Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

Zetaboards renders copy-pasted apostrophes as ’

On several occasions I've tried to copy and paste documents, originally written in google docs or another word processor, into my reply field or blog here at the Temple. For some reason that I'm guessing has to do with Zetaboards's coding, all of my apostrophes and quotation marks show up as ’

As in

It's becomes It’s

Is there any workaround for this? Is it a font-related issue? Or am I cursed to retype everything from scratch when I want to make a long reply/blog entry?

I don't know what causes it, but if you copy/paste from notepad, that issue won't happen.

Is it smart quotes?

I believe it's smart quotes.

What I usually do is copy a quotation mark from Zetaboards, then ctrl+h all quotation marks (both kinds) in the documents, and replace all with the Zetaboards variety. It definitely is a pain, though.

...And today I learned what smart quotes are. :|

That's the problem, turns out. When I go in to the text field and replace the slanting quotation marks with " or ', the problem ceases.

EDIT: Yeah, Satty, I was looking for a "find and replace" extension for Chrome just a while ago. My previous blog entry had to go through manual replacement before posting, which took, like, half an hour X___x

I think you can disable smart quotes in your word processor as well, but that's a bit more of a drastic step, if easier in the long run.

Oh! You can specifically disable them in Google docs. Problem solved.

Thanks for potentially saving me hours of editing~

EDIT: Holy [radio edit] that took a total of ten seconds. :heart:

I always disable smart quotes when I can. They are such a pain. :|
