All my documents are in English, so I rarely use babel. But I do want my quotes to look correct. So I use ``..'' instead of "..". The old LaTeX exporter used to translate ".." to ``..'' by default, which the new one does not do. Since "smart quote" for LaTeX is usually a necessity rather than a preference, would it make sense to have it enabled by default for the LaTeX backend and all other backends that derive from it? Of course if that is not reasonable, I can always get use the filter suggested by Jambunathan earlier in the thread. Cheers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
