I write (X)HTML documents in Emacs using PSGML mode. At the moment, whenever I've finished a document I do various search-and-replaces to get proper punctuation marks, such as replacing ' with ’, -- with –, --- with —, and " with either “ or ”. I was wondering whether anyone had written a function which would do that automatically as I type, rather like lots of word processors do, but which would not touch anything within a tag (such as the quote marks around attribute values, or the comment markers)?
