Hi all, thanks for all replies.
indeed. `` and '' are (in tex) pseudo ligatures and not really a portable standard, certainly not now that we have utf8 as input (in a similar fashion users who need accented characters will not use \"u and \'a any more)
In fact, I don't know how to input left, right double quotation marks and accented characters directly with keyboard. It is easier for me to input {``}, {''} and \"u etc than to input utf8 characters with keyboard. I don't say to make tex-style ligature available by default but only to make it available under an appropriate setup. Even this is not suitable for ConTeXt? Best regards, Atsuhito Kohda
