Since we're using php, I know how to fix it, but I don't know.
You can use code to, for example, make all quotes equal ", and stuff like that, but it would require a fair bit of coding. I might ask my more php knowledgeable friends.
The new effects either consist of DHTML or Javascript, and in order to make an addition such as that to convert all punctuation you wouldn't only need knowledge of PHP but a good understanding of InvisionBoard. Even with it modified for the entire forums it may not affect DHTML, which is what is used with the tags in question (and if it did affect the tags... you would want to tell it specifically which line and character it should affect, otherwise it is likely to cause the script to turn into a long string of ugly characters).
The forums already convert the normal output of quotations and whatnot, I believe that it (along with many PHP scripts) is just referencing a library which does basically what you're thinking of creating. To create a program which is intelligent enough to determine the output variable in a DHTML script would be
very difficult to my knowledge.
It would be much easier (although probably by no means
easy) to just edit the scripts themselves instead of create a global and intelligent program.
