Hoi, With the realisisation that this is also a problem that prevents Neapolitan from being written as it is standard practiced, the Neapolitan language uses '' in its language. The result of the MediaWiki practice of using the ' in bold and italic breaks functionality in the first place. Given that it is also a problem in the parser itself, maybe a good reason to ditch this abomination. Thanks, GerardM
I was wondering... would it be possible for nap: users to enter "smart-quotes", namely ’’ or ’’? The advantage of this character over ' is that you can represent it in plain text (no HTML code), even in Category tags and page titles. It also looks nicer if you have a good font. You could, of course, add ’ to a <charinsert> tag in [[MediaWiki:Edittools]] to make this character easier to insert.
Hoi, The problem is that the practice of people /are/ writing Neapolitan in this way. You do not ask people who write Dutch to use the "proper" character in stead of the ij combination. When people type, they expect the characters to be there on the keyboard. For "smart-quotes" to be used by everyone you expect to much. It just will not happen. Thanks, GerardM
