Is it possible to remove quote marks from a block of content?
I’d like to insert the summary from each of my posts into the “description” metatag of my template. The problem is sometimes there are quote marks in the summary content and it causes the metatag to break.
Any suggestions on how to get rid of the quote marks?

One way would be using the Cleaner plugin.

Wow, exactly what I needed. Thanks!
I had a friend write some PHP for me, but haven’t tried it yet:
<?php
$trimmed_content = substr($post->post_content, 0, 50); $meta_desc = str_replace("\"","", $trimmed_content); ?> <meta name="description" content="<?php echo $meta_desc; ?>" />#5 / Jun 11, 2009 7:48pm
@silenz
what about the single quotes? eg. don’t vs. dont vs. ‘hi there’
Thanks for the link!
