Hi!
I'm just working on some Tex-Document which uses several dialogues
which I want to enclose in "< "> (the result are those <<
>-enclosures in the document). Would be cool if that
could be added
to the language grammar.
Thanks in advance

Can you give us a more extended result? Or perhaps a link explaining
the syntax you are talking about?

When I try to compile a file containing these lines, it shows up
pretty bad. Is this something standard in LaTeX? Does it depend on
some special package perhaps? I have literally never seen these
before. Then again, there's a lot of LaTeX things I haven't seen before.

I think they give "reverse guillemot-like" quotes when used in
German: so, for example, if
\usepackage[german]{babel}
is in the document's preamble you can use "< to produce << (OK, a
glyph something like this...).
So a working example would be
=======================================================================
\documentstyle{article}
\usepackage[german]{babel}
\begin{document}
And someone on AOL said ">ich auch!"<
\end{document}
=======================================================================
Yeah, yeah, I have no idea re German!
Cheers,
Paul

It seems to depend on \usepackage[german]{babel} or \usepackage
[ngerman]{babel} (I tried it with english and french and that didn't
work).
The example above ("> <") works but I've never seen it this way, the
right order would be ("< ">).
This style of enclosure is very common in Germany in fictional texts
(most of my scientific books are in English so I can't verify what's
"normal" there).
The result of this style can be ssen in the attached screenshot:

any book in English he read"

It should work now, both ">..."< and "<...">
I am marking the text between as a string for now. The only
disadvantage of that is that you can' really use the characters on
their own, but only in pairs.

Hi list, I'm waking a 2.5 year-old thread here :)
Would it be possible to add similar support for the french guillemots too ?
In LaTeX they can be typed as << this >>, or directly « like that »
(option-backslash and option-pipe on a US keyboard).
BTW there also is a ‹ single › version of those guillemots, though
they are not used in french AFAIK (option-# and option-$).
< this > does not work though, it prints regular lesser-than and
greater-than operators.

I'm a little confused, you want things between << >> or « » scoped as
strings?
