Christian -- Thanks a lot. If there's nothing built in to Org to do it then
that looks like a good method.
Question: Does this work only if quotes both appear on the same line of Org-mode
text? Or is the regex applied to paragraph as a whole after it's been assembled
as part of export?
It looks like it does only double-quotes; makes me realize single quotes are a
bit harder because they're often used alone as apostrophes. It seems like even
single-quote pairs could work well if you put beginning-of-word (\<) and
end-of-word (\<) regex anchors in there.
Beginning-of-word and end-of-word anchors may be appropriate even for the
double-quote search, so maybe something like change below could be improvement.
Take it for what's it's worth, since I don't do emacs regexes.
