pandoc-quotes.lua is a filter for Pandoc that replaces non-typographic quotation marks with typographic ones for languages other than American English.

You can define which typographic quotation marks to replace plain ones with by setting either a document's quot-marks, quot-lang, or lang metadata field. Typically, it should 'just work'.

See the manual page for details.

You use pandoc-quotes.lua at your own risk. You have been warned.

You need Pandoc 2.0 or later.

1. Download the latest release.
2. Unpack it.
3. Move pandoc-quotes.lua from the repository directory to the filters sub-directory of your Pandoc data directory (pandoc --version will tell you where that is).

If you have curl or wget, you can (probably) install pandoc-quotes.lua by copy-pasting the following commands into a bourne shell:

(
    set -Cefu
    NAME=pandoc-quotes.lua VERS=0.1.10
    URL="https://github.com/odkr/${NAME:?}/archive/v${VERS:?}.tar.gz"
    FILTERS="${HOME:?}/.pandoc/filters"
    mkdir -p "${FILTERS:?}"
    {
        curl -L "$URL" || ERR=$?
        [ "${ERR-0}" -eq 127 ] && wget -q -O - "$URL"
    } | tar xz
    mv "$NAME-$VERS/pandoc-quotes.lua" "$FILTERS"
)

You may also want to copy the manual page from the man directory in the repository to wherever your operating system searches for manual pages.

For the test suite to work, you need a POSIX-compliant operating system, make, and Pandoc 2.7.2. The test suite may or may not work with other versions of Pandoc.

To run the test suite, just say:

    make test

See the manual page and the source for details.
