Hi,

I noticed a very strange rendering issue with single/double quotations and comma.

“hello”, “hola”, 'what',

will be rendered as

“hello,” “hola,” ‘what,’

in the html and PDF. If I append an extra whitespace between " and ,, the order will be respected. Is this a bug in pandoc? I haven't seen this in LaTeX.

Based on jgm/pandoc#7005, can you try putting lang=en-GB in your metadata.yml? That should fix it.

I confirm it solves the issue. Maybe we should set this as the default? The current default setting is

# A setting for the PDF. I don't know whether it is important.
lang: en-US

The default locale in Pandoc is set to `en-US`, same as the lang settings in Books.jl. To avoid JuliaBooks#302, it may be better to switch to other options like `en-GB`. However, this may also have some side effects such as changes in date formats. As a temporary workaround, we can aware the users of this setting.
