Text Formatting ⇒ csquotes: Undefined control sequence.

[surgelato]

Hello
If I try to compile my code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[style=authortitle-icomp]{biblatex}

\begin{document}
test
\end{document}

I get this error:

! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> ...ater.\MessageBreak I found: '\csuse{ver@etoolbox.sty}'.\Messa...
l.36 \endinput}

I use Texlive on Ubuntu and csquotes v 4.4c.

Anybody any idea?

I don't see what this has to do with csquotes. Your example doesn't use it. Make sure that you use the most recent version of packages.


Best regards

Oh I'm sorry, that was a mistake, I posted the wrong code. This is the right one:

Code: Select all

    \documentclass[a4paper]{article}
    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
    \usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
    \usepackage[style=authortitle-icomp]{biblatex}
    \usepackage[babel,ngerman=guillemets]{csquotes}

    \begin{document}
    test
    \end{document}

The quoted error in the first post reports a part of the csquotes.sty. If I dont load csquotes the error is gone.

Make sure that you use the most recent version of packages.

I use the newest versions, its a new installation.

The csquotes package doesn't provide an option named ngerman. The following code compiles without errors:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[style=authortitle-icomp]{biblatex}
\usepackage[babel,german=guillemets]{csquotes}

\begin{document}

The csquotes package doesn't provide an option named ngerman. The following code compiles without errors:

Hm, not here. Same error.

OK, let's compare package versions. Please add a \listfiles command before the \documentclass line and compare the output with my version list:

I am currently writing my thesis and got similar problems with csquotes. When I compile my document, it always says

- unknown option babel for package csquotes
- unknown option ngerman=quotes for package csquotes

The csquotes package is installed, but of course there are no "..." in my final document.

What am I doing wrong? I also tried to insert question marks with a different code and it also did not work...Therefore I guess that I have to install something in addition?

Code: Select all

\usepackage[babel,german=quotes]{csquotes}

Genau, dies ist \enquote{nur} ein Beispiel.

Hi,

replace

Code: Select all

\usepackage[babel,ngerman=quotes]{csquotes}

with

Code: Select all

\usepackage[autostyle=true,german=quotes]{csquotes}

The babel option is deprecated and ngerman is not an option for csquotes; the right option is german (without the "n")

[Annika]

Hey,

thanks for the quick answer. Unfortunately, it did not change anything.
It says now

- undefined option autostyle=true for package csquotes
- undefined option german=quotes for package csquotes
and in the text - undefined control sequence for \enquote{...}

When I open the style-file of csquotes, there is written, that there is a problem with the etoolbox. I already installed that with the package manager of Miktex 2.8

Code: Select all

%% Compatibility and requirements

\RequirePackage{etoolbox}
\RequirePackage{keyval}

\@ifpackagelater{etoolbox}{2008/06/28}

     {Upgrade to etoolbox v1.7 (2008/06/28) or later.\MessageBreak

      This is a fatal error. I'm aborting now.}%

My code looks like this now:

\documentclass[pdftex,a4paper,12pt]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[autostyle=true,german=quotes]{csquotes}
\usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc}

\usepackage[round]{natbib}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{array,tabularx}
\usepackage{pdflscape}

\begin{document}

This is a \enquote{test}.

\end{document}

[gmedina]

...
It says now

- undefined option autostyle=true for package csquotes
- undefined option german=quotes for package csquotes
and in the text - undefined control sequence for \enquote{...}

Those messages suggest old versions of some packages. Compile this code:

Code: Select all

\listfiles
\documentclass[pdftex,a4paper,12pt]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[autostyle=true,german=quotes]{csquotes}

\begin{document}

This is a \enquote{test}.

\end{document}

The \listfiles command will only write a list of the files used and its versions to the .log file. Open the .log file and search for the *File List* section; here's mine:
