Smart Punctuations - Enhance text quality in Blogger and Gmail

"Smart Punctuations" is a Chrome extension designed to improve the quality of your text in Blogger's post editor and Gmail's compose box. It replaces straight quotes with smart quotes and modifies dashes, providing your text with a more professional appearance. The extension does not alter text within elements like pre, code, or tt. It's easy to use: once installed, an icon appears on your address bar during editing. Just click on the icon to start the magic transformation of your punctuations. Also available is the open-source code for users with an interest in exploring how the extension is implemented.

User reviews

Love this. Have used it for years, but only recently has it stopped smartening quotes as I type ’em. (I have to manually invoke the extension.) Wondering what’s changed and whether there’s a way to restore “live” smartening.

This would be great... but it doesn't seem to be working! I think that Blogger must no longer support this extension, since when I click on the icon, nothing changes.

Does not seem to work on Google's Blogger editor, so what's the point of offering it?
