Quoted text question

Today, I tried to create two paragraphs of quoted text using

,----
|        ``The first paragraph.
|
|        ``The last paragraph.''
`----

using the quoting style that's common in US English, at least: don't
close the quotation at the end of a paragraph if it's continued by the
same speaker into the next paragraph.  

Asciidoc interpreted the start of the first paragraph as two grave
accents, while it (naturally) put curly quotation marks around the
second paragraph.  

Is there a way to tell asciidoc that the first of the first paragraph
should also be processed as a curly (opening) quotation mark?

,----
| $ asciidoc.py  --version
| asciidoc 8.2.3
`----

Thanks,

Bill

This would do the trick:

{amp}#8220;The second paragraph.

Or you could define a replacement in your configuration file e.g.

[replacements]

Stuart,

Thanks; I'll give it a try the next time it comes up.
