<div>Hi, there, I was happy to notice that in version
15 you now have Autocorrect Preferences for
autocorrecting smart quotes. <br>
<br>
</div>
But I'm not sure how to use it properly. <br>
<br>
</div>
First, does this autocorrect option only work in Author
Mode? When you go in Author Mode, will it automatically
change all existing quotes appearing in rendered text
(as opposed to elements) into smart quotes? <br>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

The feature is only available in author mode and only when typing in
text content. When the user types a single or double quote it will
be replaced automatically with a substitute (the smart quote). This
smart quote support is disabled by default but can be enabled and
configured from Preferences->Editor / Edit modes / Author /
AutoCorrect. If a smart quote was inserted but you don't want one
there you can just hit UNDO (Ctrl+Z) and it will be replaced with
the standard quote.<br>

Second, a more basic question. Can I assume that whenever
I am editing an attribute of an element that this
Autocorrect option will not change it? <br>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

The support will not alter attribute values.<br>

Actually, a third question which is even more elementary. If
I were to do a global substitution which resulted in
attribute quotes as having smart quotes instead of normal
quotes, would the parser still process it normally? <br>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
The quotes that surround an attribute value must not be changed into
smart quotes as the parser will not process such attributes. But I
think that if you want to do such a global substitution there are
ways you can stop that from happening. For example in Oxygen's "Find
and Replace" dialog you can use an XPath to restrict the scope to
text nodes : //text() . Then you can use Regular expressions to
replace the quotes:<br>
- the start quote. Text to find: (\s)" and Replace with: $1\u201c <br>
- the end quote. Text to find: (\S)" and Replace with: $1\u201d<br>

I publish a lot of fiction by myself and others. I often do a
lot of writing and editing both in editor mode as well as
author mode. (I often don't notice what mode I am in). <br>
</div>
</div>

I'll add a feature request to support the smart quote feature in
text mode too.<br>
