Can you test my version and see if that's any better -- https://github.com/ecsplendid/jetzt

Try pressing alt-a on that article

This is a problem with the current DOM parsing function; if I select the text manually (and therefore bypass the DOM parser) there are no nested quotes.

Have no fear, @MB6. A brand new wonderful DOM parsing function is being written as we speak! :)

@ecsplendid, some feedback (I don't mean any of this in a mean way, I like it very much)

1. alt - a does nothing for me, that may be because I'm on a mac and have to go control - option - a to get alt - a
2. I haven't seen any nested quotes in your version. I think you've fixed it! :)
3. buuut, your single quotes are broken,
   the text reads: "from everything we've seen ,..."
   and I get:
   

The text reads: 'wards' around the
and I get:

1. Is something with your pivots different from the original?
2. I'm not sure I like the font (but its growing on me!)
3. The punctuation highlighting is growing on me too
   all over, good work

@ds300
I am awaiting the new fancy DOM parser!

Ahh we've I didn't have a regex rule for that. I've updated for that

The current pattern is

/['’](?=(([dst]|nt|es|re|ve)[\s$\n])|cause|em|cept|tis|\d{2})/gi
/s['’](?=\s|\n)/gi

Which basically means any quotes that are followed by a d,s,t, "nt", "es", "re", "ve" then a space or followed by cause,em, cept or tis or two digits are not a part of a quotation.

I think I might give up on the single quote parsing though, it's a nightmare and will not work in all situations without some "moon-shot" investment of time!

I really appreciate you taking a look though, I hope I have explored some concepts. I feel drained now and will just wait to see what @ds300 comes up with next and reconcile with that.

"Is something with your pivots different from the original?"

Yes when I call the get pivot function, I strip out any punctuation or anything that isn't a letter basically, so ".", "-", ";" etc will come out. This may slightly shift the balance to the left!
