It would be much better to use \enquote{these}. The \enquote tag belongs to the powerful csquotes package. Not only does this package chose the correct quotation mark style for the document language as defined by babel, it also supports nested quotations, e.g.: He said: \enquote{This a \enquote{nonsense} sentence.} would be rendered as: He said: "This is a `nonsense' sentence." Using \enquote as a default translation would make things much easier for non-English users. Is there a way to configure that? Or at least to let org-export-latex produce German quotation marks: "`xxx"' instead of ``xxx''? Greetings, Sven
