Fix/typography quotes mirroring text

[sunil5151]

Problem

The word "Mirroring" on line 367 of choosing-the-state-structure.md was rendering with mismatched smart quotes (two opening quotes) instead of proper opening and closing curly quotes, while "mirroring" on line 358 rendered correctly.

Before:

• Line 358: "mirroring" ✅ (rendered correctly)
• Line 367: "Mirroring" ❌ (rendered as ""Mirroring" with double opening quotes)

Root Cause

The smart quotes typography plugin (retext-smartypants) in the docs build pipeline incorrectly converts straight quotes when a quoted word appears at the beginning of a line or after certain punctuation, treating both quotes as opening quotes instead of distinguishing between opening and closing quotes.

Solution

Replaced straight quotes " with explicit HTML entities to ensure consistent rendering:

• “ for opening quotes (")
• ” for closing quotes (")

Applied to both instances on lines 358 and 367 for consistency and to prevent future typography issues.

Testing

• ✅ Verified quotes render correctly at http://localhost:5173/learn/choosing-the-state-structure
• ✅ Both "mirroring" and "Mirroring" now display proper opening/closing curly quotes
• ✅ No other content or functionality affected

Files Changed

• src/content/learn/choosing-the-state-structure.md (2 lines modified)

Type of Change

• Bug fix (typography/rendering issue)
• New feature
• Breaking change
• Documentation update

Screenshots

After fix: Both instances now render with proper curly quotes:

• This is why "mirroring" some prop in a state variable...
• "Mirroring" props into state only makes sense when...

Thank you for maintaining such excellent documentation! This small fix improves the reading experience and typography consistency across the React docs.

“I only changed two lines. CI shows many existing TS errors unrelated to my change. Could you confirm if I should fix them all or just scope my PR?”

Dupe of #7931.

I commented on that PR that did a similar fix:

I think this is a bug in the markdown to HTML converter somewhere, or a missing plugin. We shouldn't need to use the opening and closing quotes any time we want to quote something in markdown, the parser should insert the right one.
