Smart quote rendering should not happen inside HTML <code> blocks in Markdown content

[kaushalmodi]

What version of Hugo are you using (hugo version)?

$ hugo version
v0.99.1

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

Bug Recipe

Put this in your Markdown content file

In Nim, <code class="inline-src language-nim" data-lang="nim">echo "hello"</code> will print
_hello_.

Deployed test showing this issue

• Markdown source file for this test

Expected output

The double quotes inside the HTML <code> block should have remained the exact same, as straight quotes.

Observed (incorrect) behavior

Those double quotes are getting transformed into curved quotes, probably by GoldMark.

@jmooring That's awesome! Thanks for taking time to come up with that bug recipe in Go. You are filling my Go-fu void 😃 .

The upstream maintainer is reluctant to make any changes. I'm not sure where that leaves us.

Closing this as it's out of the scope of Hugo.

I have a workaround for this problem .. use span tags around Markdown's quoted syntax for inline code blocks.

Below renders without the typographer messing up the quotes:

In Nim, <span class="inline-src language-nim" data-lang="nim">`echo "hello"`</span> will print _hello_.
