The first line below was inserted in a text editor from a TextExpander snippet.

<span style=“color:Green”>Green Text</span>

<span style="color:Green">Green Text</span>

The second line was typed in by hand.
Display both lines in Marked, or preview Markdown in Drafts on iPhone.
Only the bottom line is displayed correctly in Green text.
I have used this TextExpander snippet before with no issues, can't figure what is going on now. The Green Text in the first line was entered with the %clipboard command in Text Expander.

   I'm not sure what to tell you. Both seem to render fine and look right in the HTML, but you're right, webkit is displaying them as default color and green, respectively. That one's a mystery, but apparently not a Marked bug. Tested with several processors and the output is the same.

   The problem is the typographic quotes in the first line. I have the same problem with TextExpander. I'd like to create snippets using the regular quote char ...

   Check your sysprefs in the Language/Region/Text settings to see if you're automatically converting to smart quotes at the OSX level. That will affect your text expander snippets. I just figured this out, saw this post, fixed my issue, and it looks like yours might be the same.
