There's been some talk about quotation marks when exporting to LaTeX,
but I've noticed some issues in addition (I think) to those mentioned
by others.
"'a quote' inside a quote"
is exported to LaTeX as
``'a quote' inside a quote''
but should be
``\,`a quote' inside a quote''
Similarly,
"a quote that ends with 'a quote'"
is exported as
``a quote that ends with `a quote'''
but should be
``a quote that ends with `a quote'\,''
Implementing the \enquote solution proposed by Sven Bretfeld would a
fix for this, but that would probably have to be optional. So I was
working on a regexp fix for this, but then I realized that there's a
host of cases where the beginning quote isn't recognized as beginning
because there isn't whitespace in front of it, such as when a quote
starts a parenthetical ("like this"). Maybe the solution is to use
the list of "allowed chars in pre" from
org-emphasis-regexp-components?

Could you please point me to that earlier discussion? I cannot
find it right now.
THanks!

I'd be happy to work on this, by the way, but don't want to start on a
solution that other people don't want.

The different styles of quotation marks needed for different languages
might also be a problem for a regexp solution. I'm using the \enquote
method since quite a while and write English and German text in that way
without further user interference. \enquote just picks the correct
version in dependency of the babel environment.
Greetings,
Sven

Definitely--I agree that the csquotes solution is probably best, but
since Carsten said that would probably be an option there needs to be a
vanilla LaTeX solution too.
