Questions about this tool
Why does my code fail after copying from Word?
Word turns " into “ ” automatically, and programming languages do not accept those marks as string delimiters.
Are Arabic « » guillemets changed?
Not unless you enable that option, since they are correct punctuation in Arabic writing.
Does anything else in the text change?
No, only the marks listed in the formula.
