There's a problem with quotes on my system (Debian 2.2, $LC_ALL=de=DE,
LyX 1.1.5fix2). My default-template is set to "\quotes_language german"
"\quotes_times 2", which gives \glqq resp. \grqq (speaking ERT) when I
enter <Shift 2> and is exactly what I want. The problem are single
quotes <Shift #>, they're not entered as \glq resp. \grq.
There's a work-around I've found, I'll use nontypographic characters to
demonstrate what I mean:
What does not work:
"'test (also not when I switch between double and single quotes)
What does work but is really stupid:
<Shift 2>test
"test
switch to single quotes
<Shift 2>
'"test
switch back to double quotes
<Shift 2>
"'"test
delete the " entered at first
Result: "'test in the sense of {\glqq\glq}test
To sum it up, single quotes must be entered surrounding double quotes to
appear typographically correct in this scenario.
If I got the documentation right, this is a bug in 1.1.5fix2. Has this
bug been fixed in recent versions? Does anybody know a work-around,
maybe a keyboard macro, whatever, for the version I'm using.
