   I cited subsection (c) [left paren, c, right paren] of a statute, only to have WP "correct" that reference to the symbol ©. Is there a way to turn off this dreadful "feature?"

   If it's only a few characters that do this, could you just input the ascii codes instead ?

   I suppose that would work, but it's a bit cumbersome. Is there no way to tell WP simply to take characters at face value?

   May I suggest using the WP encoder to convert characters to codes?
   WP intelligently converts boring text into well formatted text, and like any intelligent system, has it's blind spots, I guess. This reminds of Microsoft word, which provides some unsolicited formatting help, ever so often.

   Heck. Lets hope WP does not remind us of Word too often. :-)

   It might be a good idea to incorporate an "encode" button on the "Quicktags" panel.

   Why? That is the correct character for copyright, after all.

   Well, gee, if it's the correct code for copyright, I guess that must mean it's also the correct code for any other reason one might have for typing the sequence "(c)." My readers will never know what Section 18-9-204.5(c) of the Colorado Revised Statutes says, but hey, at least they'll know that Section 18-9-204.5 is copyrighted.

    That's wp-includes/vars.php :). This will disable the texturize engine for all posts.

    When I type in a new post and include the characters, "It's " the blog shows "It’s"
    Is this a browser issue, or WP converting things?

    Neither, I guess. It must have to do with the character encoding used by your weblog. UTF-8 will perhaps give you the most mileage, since a lot many characters can be represented using it.
    WordPress converts the plain ' to a more curly ' which looks better. The curly ' is a different character from the plain jane ' and so it requires to be displayed properly. You can be assured it is not a browser problem, since most WordPress users use curly ' by default, thanks to WordPress.
    You should probably choose a character encoding and specify it in the options page.

    Hmmmm. I wrote the post in MS Word (perhaps a bad idea), then pasted into notepad, and then into WP post box.
    When I re-type the entry by hand, everything works out fine.
    Does anyone else use a different editor, then paste into WP?

    You can use some text editor that does not do any styling and saves the data as pure ascii.
    I often use notepad, or even wordpad, if that's what you are looking for.

    Short of disabling the texturize engine altogether, is there any way to disable specific substitutions or enable others? I like the feature when it's applied to strings I would <i>never</i> want to appear verbatim, e.g., \c\ rather than (c).

    This (apparently?) remains an open issue causing trouble for all sorts of reasons, most recently an attempt to post code to my blog. (A wordpress hack no less!) I have been unable to find any reliable documentation / explanation of how to work around the usually handy, occasionally infuriating aspect of wordpress. A simple checkbox, 'use texturize for this post' would likely do it in the case of code, without which posting code is impossible as far as I can tell. The wordpress docs wiki has not even a page for texturize. Hopefully I can put some time into helping to remedy this situation, but in the meantime -- links?

    I'm having the same problem again with the newer version, and the old links to the solutions no longer work. Ideas?

    I've had some luck using Text Control.

    Per my http://wordpress.org/support/topic/15118#post-191873 , I ask again
    How do I deactive texturizer, in a step-by-step fashion?

    I don't have the time to figure out every include relationship to see where texturizer is or character set encoding details, but you probably know.
