Is there a reason why double and single quotes always appear straight when typed directly into Rise (' and " vs ‘ and “)? I can only get curly quotes if the content is pasted in from another application.
The text editor used in Rise 360 defaults to straight quotes. Is there a reason why you need curly quotes instead? I'll pass along your feedback to our team!
Curly quote marks, or "smart quotes," are true typography quote marks while straight quote marks, or "dumb quotes" are a vestigial constraint from typewriters when using one key for two different marks helped save space on a keyboard.
It would be ideal if Articulate would have Rise default to smart quotes or have something added to the Format bar that we could click on to convert the dumb quotes to smart.

Hi Alyssa, in English, curly (or smart) quotes are preferred typographically.
