I write in Vim and when ready to format/publish dump documents in LyX for formatting as LaTeX documents. When I do so, double quotes show up in LyX with closing quotes at the beginning and end of the quote. When dumped in a word processor, opening and closing quotes are identical as well, but they are the vertical quotation marks, not the ones that curve in and out that is standard in LyX. I'm guess the latter is what is meant by "smart quotes."
I'm wondering if it's possible to change the encoding of double quotes in Vim so they don't get translated the way they do in LyX.
