Sorry, what did you mean? ``comment'' produces smart quotes in latex if I remember correctly. You probably want to convert it somehow because it looks a bit odd on the web page as it stands. I'm not sure what the reST replacement might be, but converting it just to "comment" would probably be OK. Likewise with `comment' to 'comment'.

Ahh, now the dime has fallen ;) (sorry, German phrase)

Yes, it should probably use Unicode equivalents of these quotes, as it does with en- and em-dashes.

There are also nifty "post-processor" filters which operate on complete HTML pages and replace normal quotes by "smart" ones, perhaps that is the way to go.
