Text Formatting ⇒ Quotes

[bendt]

I am running TeXShop 2.43 and have read that to do quotes you use ``'' with the word in between. If i just type ``'' and then typeset it comes up correctly but if I put a word between the quotation marks the closing one disappears. I also tried using single quotation marks but these just don't show up at all. I would prefer to use single quotes but I don't really mind.

Cheers,
Ben

No problem here.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\begin{document}
``Quote''
\end{document}

Well then?

Yeah that works fine in the latex template but I'm using a book template I downloaded from the internet, is there a particular piece of preamble I need to make it close quotations?

[localghost]

It does not help at all if you complain that it's not working in your document. Instead you should build a true minimal example that clearly reproduces the problem and is reduced to only relevant code.

[bendt]

The minimum example is irrelevant because I am not experienced enough to write my own code and therefore have to work from someone else's template. I need to find the problem there.

[localghost]

A minimal example is never irrelevant and can be done by everybody. Just follow the link in my last reply for detailed instructions. Otherwise I'm pessimistic about specific help here. It is absolutely necessary to see some code for figuring out where the problem is located. You can also ask the author of your template for help.
