Quoting style by culture
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Is there a way to specify British quoting conventions? (uses single quotes instead of double)?
Not today, but I'll look into adding it as a feature. Can you provide an example or a URL to an example?
‘Economic systems’, according to Professor White, ‘are an inevitable byproduct of civilization, and are, as John Doe said, “with us whether we want them or not”’.
--British versus American style
“It was getting really cold,” he said, “and they were saying ‘When can we go back home?’”
Jaya said, ‘They were getting really excited and were shouting “Come on!”’.
--Cambridge Dictionary
@ceruulean Finally getting time to look at this. Currently, you can override the regex used by pass in a new one. So I'm adding BRITISH_DIALOGUE_RE to the package. Tests generally are passing, but I'm not convinced it's right. The final ".\n" from your sample text winds up a dialogue, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around whether that's correct.
Take a look at PR #9 and if you have any thoughts or advice, would love to hear it. I should be able to pick up again tomorrow.
