Text editor quotation mark woes

text-editor

In text editor my quotation marks keep getting replaced by non ascii versions.

So if I am editing an XML document the double vertical line type quotation mark keeps getting auto-replaced by the curly type that breaks the XML document.

I have turned off the Text replacement option in preferences but it keeps happening.

If you are using TextEdit, go to Preferences > New Document > Options and uncheck the box for smart quotes:

TextEdit preferences

You may then require a system restart.
