Text Formatting ⇒ `x' instead of ‘x’

[DanielOMoneyRain]

Hi,

I have a problem when writing `x'. TeXShop will turn this into ‘x’
Any ideas how to solve this problem?

These are the packages I use:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[paper=a4, fontsize=12pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[danish]{babel} 
\usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts,amsthm,mathrsfs}
\usepackage{tikz,pgfplots} 
\usepackage{subcaption,caption} 
\usepackage{sectsty} 
\usepackage{accents} 
\usepackage{fancyhdr} 
\usepackage{verbatim} 
\usepackage{graphicx} 
\usepackage{setspace} 
\usepackage{icomma} 
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usetikzlibrary{patterns,calc,shapes.geometric, arrows,decorations} 

And the I have this for when writing in another font:
\newenvironment{stata}{\fontfamily{lmtt}\selectfont}{\par}

The problem appears using the font or not

Here is a MWE

Code: Select all

\documentclass[paper=a4, fontsize=12pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[danish]{babel} 
\usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts,amsthm,mathrsfs} 
\newenvironment{stata}{\fontfamily{lmtt}\selectfont}{\par}

\begin{document}
`x'   \\

\begin{stata}
	`x'
\end{stata}
\end{document}

I'm perhaps being dim here: what is the expected difference between those two x's?

[DanielOMoneyRain]

The x's are exactly equivalent. But what is not equivalent are the symbols ` ' and ‘ ’
Latex will turn this sign: `
Into this:‘
and this sign:'
into this:’

The reason why I need it not to tranform the signs is because the statistical software I'm writing a note on can tell the difference.

I hope it made sense

Hi Daniel,

welcome to the forum!

How about this?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\newcommand*{\backtick}{${}^{\backprime}$}
\newcommand*{\tick}{${}'$}
\begin{document}
\backtick x\textquotesingle
\end{document}

Hey Stefan,

Thank you for your reply!

Changing the code you sent just a little worked it out!
Specificly I changed ${}^{\backprime}$ to $\grave{}$ and now it works! Thanks!

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\newcommand*{\backtick}{$\grave{}$}
\newcommand*{\tick}{${}'$}
\begin{document}
\backtick x\textquotesingle
\end{document}
