Tammy (who cannot be tagged for some reason) requested that we use curly quotes, apostrophes and emdashes with a space around them in printed books.

Should that be part of the style guide? I'm planning to follow the same conventions in the books I'm editing unless somebody tells me otherwise.

I think that should be part of the guide going forward, for both the online copy and book copy. Since there's a chance you might want to convert between the two (online tutorial merged into a book, or a book tutorial converted for the site, which is fairly common), we might as well assume one standard going forward. Most browsers and online fonts are pretty "meh" in how they render smart quotes but let's use that for now.
