I think _why did, at least RedCloth handles qoutes nicely.

irb(main):001:0> require "RedCloth"
=> true
irb(main):002:0> a = RedCloth.new( "\"Quotes\" in a RedCloth string")
=> "\"Quotes\" in a RedCloth string"
irb(main):004:0> a.to_html
=> "<p>&#8220;Quotes&#8221; in a RedCloth string</p>"


Now, the other posts to this thread made me think about character sets...

Happy rubying
