 Zettlr comes with a predefined set of replacements for AutoCorrect that covers the most common replacements, such as replacing two dashes (--) with an en-dash (–). You can add, modify, and remove replacements in the preferences. The left column contains characters the application will search for, whereas the right column contains the respective replacements.
 
-AutoCorrect comes in two flavors: You can either choose the "Word" mode, or the "LibreOffice" mode – depending on whether you are more accustomed to Microsoft Word or LibreOffice. The two modes differ in how they are triggered. The Word-mode is generally more aggressive and will immediately attempt to replace every sequence of characters it encounters. The LibreOffice mode requires you to press either Space or Enter before it attempts to replace something. You can always undo a replacement by pressing the Backspace key.

 ## MagicQuotes
 
-MagicQuotes is an extension that helps you write typographically correct quotation marks, instead of the default (" and '). You can either choose them from a dropdown list, or select a pre-defined set for a few languages by pressing the corresponding button in the preferences. Selecting the first option (or the "None"-option button) restores the default quotation marks.

 > MagicQuotes is automatically active as long as AutoCorrect is active. If you choose to deactivate AutoCorrect, this also deactivates MagicQuotes. To selectively disable MagicQuotes while keeping the AutoCorrect functionality, set the MagicQuotes to the default quotation marks.

 ## Writing CSS for Zettlr
 
-The styles of Zettlr are divided into both geometry and the actual theme, so you may want to stick with only changing the design of elements _without_ changing **any** geometry. Playing around with the geometry may be fun, but it may yield completely random behaviour, as some parts of the app depend upon the correct sizes of elements. In case you made a mistake, don't worry: Simply remove the `custom.css`-file from the data directory of Zettlr. You can find the data directory of your own system by looking at the paths provided in [the setup guide](../install.md).
