---------------------------
The auto-replace feature will consider any right-facing single straight quote as a quote symbol,

even if it's intended as an apostrophe. This also includes the syntax highlighter, which may assume
the first following apostrophe is the closing symbol of a single quoted region of text.
Alternative apostrophes, both single and double, are available. They are special Unicode characters
that are not categorised as punctuation, but modifiers. They are usually renderred the same way as
right single and double quotation marks, but not always, depending on the font.

what they're for.

quoted piece of text.
To get around this, an alternative apostrophe is available. It is a special Unicode character that

On export with the :guilabel:`Build Novel Project` tool, these apostrophes will be replaced
automatically with the corresponding right hand quote symbols. In that respect, it doesn't matter
if you mix them.

Therefore it doesn't really matter if you only use them to correct highlighting.
