Re: Smart quotes for Greek (questions for a possible patch)

[Juan Manuel Macías]

Hello Protesilaos and Michalis,

Thank you very much, Protesilaos, for the valuable information. It can
be confirmed, then, that the quotation marks rules for current Greek are
identical to the rules for Spanish, so it will be enough to copy the
existing configuration for Spanish in `org-export-smart-quotes-alist'.

It seems that the character U+201F as the first second level quotes
(instead of U+201C), which Yannis Haralambous comments in the article
cited in my first message, although historically attested, has been
abandoned...

Soon I will propose here a patch to support small quotes to
Greek.

Best regards,

Juan Manuel
