How to deal with quotation marks from html to LaTeX

How to deal with quotation marks from html to LaTeX

In the html, there is some text like `"content with quotation marks"`.
The quotation marks are kept the same when it is converted to latex.
However, it shows ugly in pdf.
I want to have `` and '' instead.

Not sure whether I understand properly, the beginning quote-mark looks like 
what LaTeX should be able to cope with, but the ending quote-mark seems 
non-standard.
In any case, you might try https://github.com/odkr/pandoc-quotes.lua; may 
ned some tweaking if you have non-standard quote-mark coding.

What you want is

pandoc -f html+smart -t latex

This will convert the quotes.

Thanks. It works.

In fact I checked the smart extention in the manual before I post. It mentions some formats support except html, which makes me think the extension is not available from html to latex.

I also find another issue. Neither `---` or `--` is converted to em-dash or en-dash with smart extension from html to latex.

OK, I'll have a look at the manual.

They are parsed as em- and en-dash but then converted back to ---
and --, because these are standard ligatures for em and en dash
in LaTeX.  If you convert to PDF you'll see that it works.
