Description

I've been looking through Trac a bit, but couldn't find a ticket reporting this problem.

When you use quotes inside quotes, this happens:

bad: ‘”…” …’
bad: ‘… “…”‘
good: “‘…’ …”
bad: “… ‘…'”

It looks like the last case was introduced in 3.9, so single quotes inside double quotes were OK before 3.9.

Hm, three quotes in a row break in all four cases.

Hi Avryl, could you provide one or two example sentences for each case?

Let me try to make some unit tests. :-)

My first unit tests. :) Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong.

So the first one passes. The second one fails, but passed in 3.8. The last two never passed.

For clarity, these are avryl's tests:

She said, "'I'm tired,' he mumbled."
She said, "He mumbled, 'I'm tired.'"
He said, '"I'm tired," she mumbled.'
He said, 'She mumbled, "I'm tired."'

  • Keywords has-patch added

Patch that adds an extra pass for embedded quotes. One incompatibility shown up by unit tests - "word\"' word word" becomes two closing quotes rather than closing quote, then opening quote.
