csquotes: Context sensitive quotation facilities

About

This package provides advanced facilities for inline and display quotations. It is designed for a wide range of tasks ranging from the most simple applications to the more complex demands of formal quotations. The facilities include commands, environments, and user-definable 'smart quotes' which dynamically adjust to their context. Quotation marks are switched automatically if quotations are nested and they can be adjusted to the current language. There are additional facilities designed to cope with the more specific demands of academic writing, especially in the humanities and the social sciences. All quote styles as well as the optional active quotes are freely configurable.

Semi-automatic installation

3. Update the file hash tables (also known as the file name database).

   On teTeX and TeX Live systems, run texhash as root (sudo texhash). On MiKTeX, run initexmf --update-fndb in a command window or use the 'Refresh FNDB' button of the MiKTeX Options window.

Manual installation

1. Copy the files csquotes.sty, csquotes.def, csq-compat.def, and csquotes.cfg to

    <TEXMFLOCAL>/tex/latex/csquotes/
   

   where <TEXMFLOCAL> denotes the root of the local TeX installation tree, for example
