Double-quote in Markdown block not rendering “smart”

    So this came up by someone else two years ago, and I didn’t realize until just now that when writing in the Markdown block, double-quotes are not being converted to smart/curly/typographical quotes on the published page.

    Single quotes, whether used as quotes or as apostrophes are converting on the published page. It’s just double-quotes that are not.

    This doesn’t seem like correct behavior to me, and in fact in the earlier post two years ago a plugin contributor deemed it a bug and opened an issue that doesn’t appear to have gone anywhere at all.

    Surely this can’t be the intended behavior, as half the point of using Markdown is to be able to just write and let the software render things well.

    (I should say that it’s inexplicable to me that the thread two years ago was marked as resolved when nothing in the thread resolved the actual bug.)

    Hi Bix,

    I can see that you communicated with our developers about this issue on Github already, and they were able to merge a fix that will be included in the next Jetpack release, so I’ll mark this forum thread as resolved. Thanks!
