I am using TeXworks and I am facing this annoying problem. As soon as I try to  use the left quote   ' of my keyboard, it is immediately translated into   \lq{}  in the latex file. It happens only with Texworks. Is it possible avoiding this automatic replacement?

Now, my version of TeXworks is 0.4.5r.1280 and I can't have the " character on the keyboard.    I have ``  or '' instead. Why?  And It's the same with Alt+034. I'm very disappointed with that.

When I try to use one of the more "hacky" methods of getting a literal "special character" (such as backslash or a brace) then I get a different character: backslash seems to be an open quote, left brace a dash, and right brace a close quote.  What happened to my special characters?  \documentclass{minimal}  \begin{document}  \char`\\ \char`\{ \char`\}  \end{document}   produces: "-" (only the two "s are different).

I'm pretty new to Latex, so please bare with me.  I'm trying to add this notation to my document:      I created the above picture from the , but it seems that when I try to apply the same code in my editor (TeXstudio), things are different...    For example, the above picture was produced using the code:    D=\left\{ x\in\mathbb{N}|1\leq x\leq 100 \right\}    But when I write it in my editor (enclosed in the $ sign of course), I get the following error when compiling:      Undefined control sequence. $D=\left{x\in \mathbb   The funny thing is that I was still able to see the output in the preview window (even though the editor shows that this line has error in it). That's the first problem.  The second problem is, although I can see the output in the preview window, it won't be the same as the output I get from the Online Latex Equation Editor. While the Online Latex Equation Editor produces this:      My TeXstudio editor produces this:     Notice the distinction in the N symbol that denotes the set of natural numbers. It is different the what I intended, which is the first version, as it produced by the Online Latex Equation Editor.   What's wrong here? Am I missing a package or something?

My office is not in English, so to save the document the shortcut is Ctrl B.  For me this should be bold, how can I change the mappings to the same as the English version? Is there a file I can replace to have all the shortcuts mapped?  I want to download a template, and not edit 1 by 1.

I'm searching for inser a new line just push the "enter" button on the keyboard.  Is there a solution?  This is the "boring" way:  \section{mySection}     My really really really long text.\newline     A new text line.   This is instead a shorter and really less boring way:  \section{mySection}     My really really really long text.      A new text line.   And this last solution is that i adopted, but if in a really long text it will create a lots of white space on the latex editor, and this is not really nice for me.  Is there a way to create a new line just with the following code?  \section{mySection}     My really really really long text.     A new text line.

I like some of the features provided by the Vim-LaTeX suite, but not all of them.  In particular, I dislike all of the mappings like [[ = \left[ \right] and the automatic placeholder stuff with &lt;++&gt;. I am a very fast typist but with that comes more typing mistakes, which I correct almost instantly by pressing backspace. Unfortunately, if something has automatically added a bunch of place-holders or expanded some expression, I then have to move around the document and remove more characters than necessary. For example, if I accidentally press [ twice, instead of only having to delete one character, I have to delete 10.  Having already looked through the documentation, and some of the source, I have managed to disable some of these "features", but not all of them:  In particular:  let g:Tex_SmartKeyBS = 0 let g:Tex_SmartKeyQuote = 0 let g:Tex_SmartKeyDot = 0   (Turn off maps for backspace, double quote and triple dot.)  let g:Imap_UsePlaceHolders = 0   (Turn off &lt;++&gt; placeholder insertion.)  But I can't seem to find a way of turning off the other stuff. Anyone have any suggestions?  Edit: I was able to "disable" some more things by setting:  let g:Tex_Leader = '`tex' let g:Tex_Leader2 = ',tex'   (Which stops some expansions but still not all. It's not really disabling it but just making it less likely that you're going to type in `texa as opposed to the potentially more common `a, for example.)  PS: Personally, I think it is very poor practice to make an optional package that, when installed, greatly changes the default handling of your system. I don't mind some intelligent source highlighting etc, or some new commands (that don't clobber any old ones), but it seems unhelpful to enable this drastic kind of key remapping by default.

I am using BibLaTeX and Babel (catalan) and I get a weird error in the bibliography:the quotation marks are replaced by question marks. If a deactivate Babel everything works.

I need the characters «» in my LaTeX document.  I'm writing in English though, and I don't want to use Babel.  I have the following hack but I'd like a better way:  \newcommand{\q}[1]{{% \font\larm = larm1000% \larm% \char 190}{#1}{% \font\larm = larm1000% \larm% \char 191}}

I use the standard style in latex and want to override it, to remove the quotation marks from Conference Type. In my bbx file I use:  \RequireBibliographyStyle{standard}   I thought I could use the following to get Rid of all quotation marks. But that doesnt work.  \DeclareFieldFormat{title}{#1}

I have a LaTeX editing environment that does some assistive stuff such as auto-indenting, closing parentheses, etc.  However, one of the things that it does is unknown to me, and is difficult to search for. If I type an empty set of braces, it replaces them with  {}&lt;++&gt;   If I type two empty sets, for example when I'm setting up a fraction \frac{}{} what I actually get is  \frac\left\{ } \right\}&lt;++&gt;}&lt;++&gt;   Is this a problem? What does &lt;++&gt; do?  Edit: This is using

I'm completely new to LaTeX. I'm using MiKTeX 2.9 (r.c29723a). When I launch TeXworks and try to compile , I receive the following error:  ... (C:\Tools\MiKTeX\tex\latex\biblatex\lbx\russian.lbx ! Package keyval Error: langjapanese undefined.   By clicking on the error message I jump to the closing brace of "\DeclareBibliographyStrings{%" in "russian.lbx", but this "key-value table" does have a "langjapanese" entry in it:  langjapanese   = {{японский}{яп\adddot}},   Am I missing something obvious here?

I just installed the vim latex-suite plugin.  Whenever I type empty brackets, parentheses, or braces, I get an extra pair of them, and I am moved to the middle of the new pair and put into insert mode.    i.e. after typing  {}   I get  {}{}   with the cursor between the second pair of empty braces.  How can I disable this?

In  my question () contains a "$" in a quoted section of the question.  Originally I had a second "$" in a second quoted  section of the same question.    However when I did this the second $ seemed to trigger a style that made the text italic and lost spacing between words.  I took out the second "$" and instead emphasized it with the word "dollars" which solved the immediate problem.  However, in the listing of the question, (not the question itself) the same thing happens after the first "$".  The summary shows the text without spaces between words and in italic.  Seems like a bug.  Below is a verbatim copy/paste of the original issue (two dollar signs):    I was able to find a small ESC for about $12 off of ebay.  If you were designing a robot, would you see that and think?       $12 bucks for an ESC that connects to simple pulse-wave interface -   sign me up!   Or would you think:     $12 just to control a motor? I could throw together an H-bridge for   $0.50 and be done with it.   My robot in particular actually has two motors and therefor $24 to control the two of them.  But the interface is really easy (plus has the added advantage of being R/C vs computer controlled with a simple change of connectors.  Which way would you go?

Is there a way to typeset the symbol ":⇔" correctly in LaTeX (i.e. with the right alignment and spacing)?  I know that using :\Leftrightarrow or :\Longleftrightarrow gets me the symbol I'm looking for (more or less), but the spacing doesn't look right to me. Constructions using \iff or \colon didn't really seem to do the trick, either.   Do I have to define such a symbol myself (if so: how?), or is there a package proving this? Unfortunately, I did not find anything myself (especially because I don't know what to search for exactly; I got the description "defined to be logically equivalent" from Wikipedia, since I didn't even know the correct name).

I am using german quotation marks in my LaTeX document. See for example the following code:  \documentclass[a4paper,12pt,numbers=endperiod]{scrartcl} \usepackage[left=2.5cm,right=2.5cm,top=2.5cm,bottom=2cm,footskip=1cm]{geometry} \usepackage{setspace} \usepackage{yfonts} \usepackage{lmodern} \usepackage{CJKutf8} \usepackage[footnote,printonlyused]{acronym} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T2A,T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[russian,ngerman]{babel} \usepackage{tipa} \usepackage{csquotes} \DeclareRobustCommand{\cyrins}[1]{%     \begingroup\fontfamily{cmr}%     \foreignlanguage{russian}{#1}%     \endgroup } \begin{document}     Comma: blah, \\     Quotation marks: \glq{}blah\grq{} and \glqq{}blah\grqq \\     This comma , and this quotation mark \glq{} are equal. \end{document}   It does everything I need it to do but my quotation marks are identical to the commas in the text which really bothers me.    Is there a way to make the quotation marks (I always enter them like \glqq \glq \grqq and \grq) distinguishable from my commas?

How do I do a single newline/carriage return when typing a question or answer?  For example, if I wanted to write some columns with values as in an Excel spreadsheet. I see people do it all the time, but I don't know how. I read the formatting tips and all about the blockquote stuff... did some google'ing, but I still haven't found out how.  The only way I know to do newlines is by pressing the Enter key twice, which makes a new paragraph, creating an empty line, which is not what I want.

I need a dynamic solution to produce questionnaires from a database of questions which gets updated from time to time. I thought of LaTeX for set out the layout but the question is whether LaTeX can import specified fields of an Acces or Excel or whatsoever external "database".  I also thought about WORD Macros and .NET programming, but I preferred LaTeX.
