Rules

Rules describe what characters should be replaced with what characters.

The first example above will replace a straight double quote into either a left typographical quote or a right typographical quote depending on whether it is a closing or opening quote.

The second example will replace a straight single quote into a right single quote.

The third example will replace a minus with a longer dash if the minus is the first character in a paragraph.
