I write in plain text, but "publish" in HTML or print. I'm always paying attention to how my workflow treats certain punctuation marks when generating the final product:
- Real quotation marks: they should looke like “this”, not "this" (more info)
- Em- and en-dashes: — and – (not the
- hyphen character except when actually hyphenating words) (more info)
- Use of the ellipses character
… instead of three periods (more info)
