Hello,
Among Blackfriday options in config.toml
, which combination of options would allow me to achieve the following?
Disable curly quotes (“ ”) and use straight quotes (" ") instead
Enable smart dashes
I’ve been testing with several combinations, but could not find one, as follows:
If I set smartypants
to true
, quotes always become curly quotes.
If I set smartypants
to false
and smartDashes
to true
, smart dashes won’t work (--
or ---
rendered as it is instead of en-dash or em-dash).
The Hugo version used for test is v0.54.0.

I’m not 100% sure, but I think it’s all or nothing for those two options. smartypants
is required for smartdashes
to work, so smartdashes come with curly quotes.
From https://github.com/russross/blackfriday/blob/master/html.go
HTML_USE_SMARTYPANTS // enable smart punctuation substitutions
HTML_SMARTYPANTS_FRACTIONS // enable smart fractions (with HTML_USE_SMARTYPANTS)
HTML_SMARTYPANTS_DASHES // enable smart dashes (with HTML_USE_SMARTYPANTS)
HTML_SMARTYPANTS_LATEX_DASHES // enable LaTeX-style dashes (with HTML_USE_SMARTYPANTS and HTML_SMARTYPANTS_DASHES)
HTML_SMARTYPANTS_ANGLED_QUOTES // enable angled double quotes (with HTML_USE_SMARTYPANTS) for double quotes rendering
HTML_SMARTYPANTS_QUOTES_NBSP // enable "French guillemets" (with HTML_USE_SMARTYPANTS)
Appears to be a requirement.
If that is the case, want to work your issue from a different angle? Are curly quotes getting up in yer business?

Unfortunately, no option will allow you to disable “smartification” of only the double quotes while retaining the rest of the smartness.
Ref: https://github.com/russross/blackfriday/blob/11635eb403ff09dbc3a6b5a007ab5ab09151c229/smartypants.go#L395
Note that if smartpants is on, the double (and single) quotes (and few more things) are always smartified.
I hope a Go coder is fed up enough with the current state of Blackfriday to fix this inconsistent API

Thanks for pointing me to the relevant code. I’ll see what I can do about it
