Standardize use of Unicode punctuation about 5e-database

[bagelbits]

I agree with your first point Replace all Unicode single right quotation marks with ASCII apostrophe. I think that makes a lot of sense.

To your second point Use Unicode left and right double quotation marks for all embedded quotes: I wonder if it actually makes sense for you to do the opposite? If we use ascii, it does make it easier to type and also you have consistency of ASCII usage for both kinds?

I could do that, and programmatically do opening and closing quotation marks in my own application. If we convert the database to ASCII, should we also replace the Unicode em dashes, en dashes, multiplication symbols and bullet points? (Most of these code points are in the Spells file as well.)

[bagelbits]

Hmmmm. I think that might make sense. What do you think?

[syntaxaire]

Sure, converting the JSONs to pure ASCII probably wouldn't hurt. I can put in sensible conversions for em- and en-dashes like double dash and single dash, asterisks for bullets, and x for times symbol. PR will come with spelling corrections as well.

[bagelbits]

Sounds good to me!

[syntaxaire]

PR coming shortly.
This is as was discussed in the issue except that instead of replacing bullet points with asterisks, I replaced them with hyphens. The reason for this is that asterisks are used in a few places in the SRD for footnotes, like in the Archmage entry. You can get bullet points from the ASCII version by converting a newline followed by a hyphen to a bullet. Using asterisks would have converted footnotes to bullets as well.

Thank you again for doing this!
