Don’t think so after skimming through the wptexturize() code, but what about using the run_wptexturize filter (untested): // Turn off wptexturize add_filter( ‘run_wptexturize’, ‘__return_false’ ); // Your text handling here … $text = apply_filters( ‘the_content’, $text ); // Remove filter remove_filter( ‘run_wptexturize’, ‘__return_false’ ); i.e. just turn off the wptexturize only for your text handling?
