   When I type in this in markdown format: [more legal info here](http://www.coolthaihouse.com/artownership.htm "land ownership") the straight quotes get modified into curly quotes and the title clause isn't correct. I tried using the curly quotes also, but then markdown doesn't seem to recognize the quotes.
   what is the best solution for this?
   thanks,

   just an added note to the above. it seems like wp is converting the straight quotes into curly quotes. Is there a way to stop WP from doing this conversion?

   Isn't it done by one of the texturise plugin ?

   I don't think so as I have them turned off.

   Did you try the latest version of PHP Markdown? The version that comes with WordPress 1.2 is very outdated now. This particular bug has been solved (in beta 5 if I remember well) by setting Markdown's filter priority to something better.

   Yes, that was the problem. Thanks Michel. I'm going to suggest that the WP folks include a version of markdown in the next release which doesn't suck. :)
