You should have simply stated. It works. Can we have the default setting changed? instead of "Thanks ... but" which I parse as "Thanks ... but it doesn't work". Install a filter function for options (add-to-list 'org-export-filter-options-functions 'org-latex-options-function) (defun org-latex-options-function (info backend) (when (eq backend 'latex) (plist-put info :with-smart-quotes t))) If the above snippet doesn't work you can search the mailing list for Nicolas recipe. > I hope I was clear this time around. > > Cheers,
