Hi!

I'm just working on some Tex-Document which uses several dialogues which I want to enclose in "< "> (the result are those <<

to the language grammar.

I'm not sure I understand what kind of thing we are talking about. Can you give us a more extended result? Or perhaps a link explaining the syntax you are talking about?

Thanks in advance

And I mean the "< ">-part :)

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!

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:

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?

No, IIRC (sorry for the late reply…) I wanted to have « and » be configured as matching open/close characters.
