So, I guess what I want is to have `` and '' be replaced by those commands.Yes, using xetex changes the code preview to usage of unicode. Is it on purpse one cannot useb pdflatex that way?It is a matter of using polyglossia instead of babel, from what I understand. There some things (ligatures, spacing) that are handled with these improves engines, but not the plain pdflatex with babel.
I see. Well, pdflatex seems to understand the quotation marks as well plus it solves the problem with the PDF bookmarks. And I guess there are certain problems I might run into when switching from pdflatex to xetex. So the switch isn't costless.
1. If I typeset the document I sent before first with pdflatex and then with xetex I get an error:\babel@aux{english}{}This is the switch from polyglossia to babel and the fact that we keep old aux files to limit the number of TeX runs.
I see. Couldn't LyX remember whether the switch has been made and delete those aux files. I guess the error is not a big problem but I was already thinking that it did not work correctly.
2. With xetexThe plain quotation marks show as Mapping=34 in the bookmarks.What bookmarks are you talking about?
The PDF bookmarks ("table of content").
