IOW, > it's a constant. But perhaps it should not be. Consider org-export-smart-quotes-alist. In Danish, according to the 'official' guidance, all of the following are appropriate (*) ,,.'', ``.'', `.', >>.<<, >.<. Basically, only the french <<.>> is not appropriate. A similar situation exists in Norwegian, to the best of my knowledge. Why should I (submitting a patch) be able to actively force which of forms in (*) should be used? One remedy /in LaTeX/ would be to let quote-characters be selected by csquote, but I don't really know if I'd want to go that way. . . Alternatively, we can populate the various language variables and provide easy means to alter them, a la: (org-alter-language "da" :left-latex "``" :right-latex "''" :table "tabel"). –Rasmus -- ⠠⠵
