Commit eaae75754d ("docs: turn off "smart quotes" in the HTML build")
disabled conversion of quote marks along with that of dashes.
Despite the short summary, the change affects not only HTML build
but also other build targets including PDF.
However, as "smart quotes" had been enabled for more than half a
decade already, quite a few readers of HTML pages are likely expecting
conversions of "foo" -> “foo” and 'bar' -> ‘bar’.
Furthermore, in LaTeX typesetting convention, it is common to use
distinct marks for opening and closing quote marks.
To satisfy such readers' expectation, restore conversion of quotes
only by setting smartquotes_action [1].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the ReStructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
