  def convert_string(item)
    escape(item).

    # convert ... to elipsis (and make sure .... becomes .<elipsis>)
      gsub(/\.\.\.\./, '.\ldots{}').gsub(/\.\.\./, '\ldots{}').

    # convert single closing quote
      gsub(%{([^ \t\r\n\[\{\(])\'}, '\1\').
      gsub(%{\'(?=\W|s\b)}, "'" ).

    # convert single opening quote
      gsub(/'/, '`').

    # convert double closing quote
      gsub(%{([^ \t\r\n\[\{\(])\"(?=\W)}, "\\1''").

    # convert double opening quote
      gsub(/"/, "``").

    # convert copyright
