Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different quote styles?
There are 6 quote styles: 1) Double Quotes - standard programming; 2) Single Quotes - strings and SQL; 3) Smart Quotes - curly quotes for publishing; 4) Angle Quotes - European languages; 5) Backticks - code and markdown; 6) Custom - define your own opening and closing characters for any use case.
What are the quoting modes?
There are 3 modes: 1) Entire Text - wraps all text in one set of quotes; 2) Each Line - quotes each line separately (perfect for CSV or arrays); 3) Each Word - wraps every word individually (useful for code generation or testing).
How is this useful for CSV files?
CSV files often require fields to be wrapped in quotes, especially when they contain commas or special characters. Use 'Each Line' mode with double quotes to quickly format data for CSV export or to ensure proper CSV parsing.
What are smart quotes?
Smart quotes (also called curly quotes) have curved opening and closing marks instead of straight vertical marks. They're used in professional publishing, books, and typography because they're more aesthetically pleasing. The opening and closing quotes curve in different directions.
When should I use backticks?
Backticks are used in markdown for inline code, in JavaScript template literals, in SQL for identifiers, and in many shells for command substitution. They're essential for code documentation and technical writing.
How does custom quote style work?
Custom mode lets you define any opening and closing characters you want. For example, use square brackets [text], HTML tags, or even emojis. Perfect for specialized formatting, data structures, or creative applications where standard quotes don't fit.
Can this convert lists to string arrays?
Yes! Use 'Each Line' mode with double quotes to convert a list into quoted strings. Then you can manually add commas and brackets to create a programming array. Perfect for converting plain lists into code.
How does per-word mode work?
Per-word mode wraps each individual word in quotes while preserving spaces. Each word gets its own opening and closing quote marks. This is useful for testing parsers, generating test data, or creating word-level emphasized text.
Can I upload files?
Yes! Click the Upload button to load .txt or .csv files. Perfect for batch processing data, formatting CSV exports, or converting lists to quoted arrays.
Can I download the result?
Yes! Click the TXT button to download your quoted text as a plain text file. The filename includes a timestamp for easy organization.
Is my text private?
100% yes. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device, and nothing is sent to our servers. Completely private and secure.
