Try SmartyPants. It's a plugin (run as a perl/Unix filter) that can do exactly what you're asking for. SmartyPants is a free web publishing plug-in for Movable Type, Blosxom, and BBEdit that easily translates plain ASCII punctuation characters into “smart” typographic punctuation HTML entities.

SmartyPants can perform the following transformations:

Straight quotes ( " and ' ) into “curly” quote HTML entities
Backticks-style quotes (``like this'') into “curly” quote HTML entities
Dashes (“--” and “---”) into en- and em-dash entities
Three consecutive dots (“...”) into an ellipsis entity

There's also a php port:

Hello.

I have a long text with a lot of Html tags. I would like to change all the quotes to smart quotes, but if I use the Text>Educate Quotes command, BBEdit will educate all the quotes, even those which are inside tags. Is there a way of getting BBEdit to skip the quotes in tags?

Thank you.
