Straight or curly quotes?

Wikisource:Style guide#Formatting doesn't take a firm stance as to whether articles ought to use curly or straight quotes, as long as it's consistent. It recommends straight quotes when there are many editors (like this, since it's advertised on the front page); however, the OCR has put in mostly curly quotes. The work is currently inconsistent; page 2 uses straight quotes, while page 36 uses curly quotes, to give arbitrary examples. I think more pages use curly quotes than straight ones at this point.

What should we standardize on? —Vahurzpu (talk) 03:35, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

• It would be easiest to use curly quotes, as those are outputted by the OCR for the most part; it is what I have used for the Bibliography, Index, and Advertisements. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 15:54, 14 July 2020 (UTC).
