HTML-browsers do not support the ISO-entities.  But most browsers
support Unicode references.  So I post-process the html files,
replacing the entity references with the Unicode numbers

Using sed:

 sed -e 's/ldquo/#8220/g' $f | sed -e 's/rdquo/#8221/g' > $tmpfile.$f
 mv $tmpfile.$f  $f

$f is one html output file from jade.

  OK, so I should have added & and ; in the substituion to be certain
  not to replace non-entities.
]

I think both Netscape and Exporer supports this, although my netscape
shows both rigth and left quotes as ".  I can't say for certain what
IE does.

Mozilla did not show anyting, but its still in alpha! ;)
