Hi,
I generate and edit quite a few LaTeX documents. Like many people, I am
considering the move over from TextMate to BBEdit, which has excellent
LaTeX support.
I have been very happy with Maarten Sneep's compilation scripts
<http://msneep.home.xs4all.nl/latex/>, but there is one glaring omission
in LaTeX support for BBEdit: LaTeX-style smart quotes: *``* and *''*
instead of *"* or*“ *and*”* and similar for single quotes. (Yes, I am
aware that most modern TeX engines can in fact deal with unicode
quotes.) Is there any way to generate the LaTeX-style quotes
automatically (i.e., by pressing the standard ascii quotes and having it
auto-sense the correct insertion, in exactly the same way as the
smart/typographer's quote feature)? This is something I've become
completely used to after more than a decade of emacs and TextMate....
While I'm here: any other LaTeX tips?
Andrew
Hello Andrew!
I have for this purpose a little filter, which you could also integrate
into LateXTidy: http://bfc.sfsu.edu/cgi-bin/hsu.pl?LaTeX_Tidy
#!/usr/bin/perl -np
s/"([^"`]+)"/``$1''/g;
If you want to surround a selection with LateX Quotes, here another filter:
#!/usr/bin/perl -np
# replaces the selected text with German Gaensefuss
s/([\w\s]+)/``$1''/g;
These snippets you save into your filter folder: Library/Application
Support/BBEdit/Unix Support/Unix Filters/LaTeX
best greetings
marek
