R – how to display custom quotation marks with sifr

Alright, looks like the fact that there was a class assigned to the <a> inside each <h2> because I was enabling an edit-in-place function with Flutter.

When I removed the class on the <a>, the replacements came through just fine.

Still doesn't explain why moving the header div.SimpleSideNav ul.sf li sIFR replacement to the top of the sifr-config.js configurations made it work, but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

I think it may be (partially) because you are applying list-style: to the li's. It should be applied to the ul instead, which is then inherited by the li's. That should get rid of the unwelcome bullet points at least.

I ditched using sIFR ages ago because it was overly complicated - Cufon seems like a much better solution, provided it's not over-used (slowness).
