In my experiments with luatex, there's one thing that may be surprising for many users: we have come to expect that the characters ` and ' in our input files map to single left and single right quotation marks. luatex just typesets them "verbatim," so to speak. It converts the combination `` and '' to double quotation marks, however. So my question: wouldn't it make sense to convert the single marks as well? (And please don't tell me "Oh but you should use \quote {} instead of ` '." I know that, but I guess that many users have hundreds of old documents where they use `'. Moreover, ' also creates the apostrophe character, which cannot be avoided.)
there is a feature: texligatures=yes for the rest, we can consider mappings but i fear that we end up in a quote mess ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
