Hello List
Quotation marks like "these" are converted to ``these'' by
org-export-latex. 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

I have seen that org-latex.el links the quotation marks to the LANG
environment. So far only French and English are supported. I think this
is more complicated than it needs to be. Anyway, users with a French
environment also write English texts from time to time. We already have
a user-configurable, language-sensitive solution with the
csquotes-package. Why not use it?
On my system, I just changed the respective code in org-latex.el to
\enquote{}. It's working and it's easy. But it will be gone with the
next update.
Greetings,
Sven

For what it's worth, I also think that an option to do this would be useful.

Hi Scott, it is worth a lot - more often that not a
second voice like this is what is making the difference...

Hi Sven,
can you send me a path, preferably with an option to turn this on and
off?
Thanks.

Hi Carsten

For now, I only have this dummy solution in my .emacs:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(eval-after-load "org-latex"
'(defun org-export-latex-quotation-marks ()
"Export quotation marks depending on language conventions."
(let* ((lang (plist-get org-export-latex-options-plist :language))
(quote-rpl (if (equal lang "fr")
'(("\\(\\s-\\)\"" "«~")
("\\(\\S-\\)\"" "~»")
("\\(\\s-\\)'" "`"))
'(("\\(\\s-\\|[[(]\\)\"" "\\enquote\{")
("\\(\\S-\\)\"" "\}")
("\\(\\s-\\|(\\)'" "`")))))
(mapc (lambda(l) (goto-char (point-min))
(while (re-search-forward (car l) nil t)
(let ((rpl (concat (match-string 1)
(org-export-latex-protect-string
(copy-sequence (cadr l))))))
(org-if-unprotected-1
(replace-match rpl t t))))) quote-rpl)))
)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
It's a static setup, just an altered clone of the code in org-latex.el.
I have not the skills to make a switch out of this. One has to add the
header \usepackage[babel]{csquotes}. So, an option has to make sure that
csquotes as well as babel is loaded with the correct language settings:
\usepackage[english,ngerman]{babel} in my case. If connected to babel,
csquotes will also take care to pick the correct quotation marks if the
language is switched in the midst of the document.
Greetings
Sven

OK, thanks, I will take a look at that.
Hmmm, I also see that csquotes is not always present in
distributions... :(
So this really has to be optional....
