Ignore typography / punctuation (apostrophes, quotes, …) about h5p-blanks HOT 5 OPEN

This is easy to add.

So ' = ’ = ‘ and "=“ = ” ?

Should ' = " ?

Also should . = , → this might be very nice for maths in country where decimal use ,

Also should ' = (empty) ?

I wanted to add that this issue is breaking key content, as in this example of fill in the blank content for English language learners (specifically, the answers that require don't or doesn't).

One big driver of this is that iPhones now insert the curly quotes by default, unless users have turned off those features. So, this typography bug affects a huge number of user devices.

A fix for this issue has been released just a couple of days after this issue was opened. It's in since version 1.12.11 of Fill in the Blanks. You might want to check what version you are running.

I just checked on iOS 14.7 and left single quotation marks and right single quotation marks that the iOS keyboard might emit are converted to apostrophes within blanks nicely. If it's not working on your end, I suggest that you provide more information - ideally on the H5P forum which is the central hub for reporting issues.

Thank you, @otacke . Should this issue get closed out?

I'm indeed running an older version, and have updated. I'm still trying to make sure I've cleared out the caches, but the error is still happening. I'll give it a few more tests over time and make sure everything is pulling from the 1.12.11 version, and will head to the forum with any other issues.

And thanks for checking on your iOS device. I think what you wrote means that when you type something like doesn't, the iOS keyboard is now converting to the vertical tick, or '. If so, that's great. Thank you.

@dodsoner Yes, I assume someone from the H5P core team could close this issue. And yup, that's what I technically meant: The left single quotation marks (‘) and right single quotation marks (’) (what you call curly quotes) are not used by iOS if a text input field has the attribute spellcheck set to false.

The code was added in 69ab18d#diff-872197d92b619c4a344ec34c1654df7874cb5c6bb7ad355bc42e81d721aa0535 and as you can see it has been around since v1.12.11. The latest releases version is v1.12.15 with 1.13.0 coming up next. Make sure to upgrade existing content if you've been running v1.11.x or earlier, otherwise you will only notice an effect for newly created content.
