Changing incorrectly formatted quotations to correctly formatted quotations.

Post by bgreen »

Periodically I tried to find solutions to quotation wrong facing leading quotation mark, e.g. ”They". Searches found posts from 2012 but the quotes package only produced errors and loading csquotes did not seem to make a difference. I have eventualy found the backtick that does result in correct quotation marks. However, there must be an easier way than manually changing hundreds of quotes.

Below is the preamble that I typically use (also used for a book class document) and a small text example. Any advice is appreciated.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage[a4paper, total={7in, 10in}]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx} 
\usepackage[english] {babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage[section]{placeins}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}
\pagestyle {empty}
\usepackage[labelformat=empty]{caption}
\usepackage {wrapfig}
\usepackage{microtype}
\usepackage{parskip}
\usepackage{geometry}
\titleformat*{\section}{\fontsize{12}{14}\selectfont}
\raggedright 
\begin{document}
\pagecolor{yellow!30}

Unlike the  "rollers" and "combers" , "dumpers" an Argus Junior supplement by 'Handicraft' said no.

\end{document}
