I'm new to overleaf and having trouble with something seemingly quite basic . . . having 'single' quotation marks show up in my document.  I am copy and pasting from Microsoft Word.   (I've look at related posts, but i'm still having trouble)  Here's my MWE:  \documentclass[twocolumn]{article}         \usepackage{graphicx}  \newcommand{\rvec}{\mathrm {\mathbf {r}}}  \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{subfigure} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{xcolor} \usepackage{color, soul} \usepackage[symbol]{footmisc} \usepackage{booktabs} \usepackage{caption} \usepackage{tabularx}  \begin{document}  'these' don't work  \end{document}   Any suggestions are appreciated!  Thanks   Edit: I tried implementing @Bernard 's code, but didn't have any luck. Here's what I tried:  \documentclass[twocolumn]{article}     \newcommand{\rvec}{\mathrm {\mathbf {r}}}  \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{subfigure} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{xcolor} \usepackage{color, soul} \usepackage[symbol]{footmisc} \usepackage{tabularx} \usepackage{booktabs} \usepackage{caption} \usepackage{array} \usepackage[autostyle]{csquotes}  \newcolumntype{L}{&gt;{\raggedright\arraybackslash}X}  \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[british]{babel}   But it is giving me an error message: Any suggestions?
How do I get a straight quote instead of curly quotes? I’m not inside verb or listing or any other special environments, and I’m not using XeLaTeX or anything—just normal LaTeX. I don’t want to change all quotes, just get the occasional straight quote. For example, I’d like a way to get something like this in the TeX:  ... some examples of these glyphs are curly quotes (``''), straight quotes ('"), and angled quotes ($'$$"$) ...   to look like this in the output:  ... some examples of these glyphs are curly quotes (“”), straight quotes ('"), and angled quotes (′″) ...   As I’m using an academic-publisher-provided template that does its own required font setup, I’m extremely wary of changing fonts or font encodings. I think the template uses the times package, and the formatting instructions say all fonts must be Type 1.
I have a BA degree in Biochemistry.  I worked at a research lab for 5 yrs before I quit my job to be a stay at home.  Now I want to change my career and get into the field of QA.  I don't have much knowledge as to what the best way is to get into this field.  I cant afford to take online courses, so I want to self teach it to me.  Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated. Show function is continuous at origin $$ \begin{cases}xy^2\sin\left(\frac 1 y\right), \text {if $y$ $\neq$ 0} \\ 0, \text{if $y$ = 0} \end{cases}$$  I'm not sure how to work out this limit as $x$ goes to infinity. If it were just the y part, I know that $y^2$ goes to 0 and $\sin$ is a limited function, so it has to go to 0, but I don't know what to do with the $x$ term. \AtEveryBibitem{\clearfield{Title}} in beamer? I am trying to solve the following exercise:     Prove that complex multiplication does not extend to a multiplication   on $\mathbb R^3$ so as to make $\mathbb R^3$ into a real division   algebra.   I am aware of Frobenius' theorem that there are only three finite dimensional real associative division algebras. But the exercise would be pointless if the theorem was assumed.   Let $x,y \in \mathbb R^3$. Since $x y$ has to extend the complex multiplication:  $$xy = (x_1y_1-x_2y_2, x_1y_2 + x_2 y_1, ?)$$  I have no idea how I can proceed from here. Could someone tell me how to do this? It should be easy as the other exercises I did so far were also easy. Is there any other way to do a clean install withot formatting /home? I think my Ubuntu is a bit broken from messing around with it.  Unfortunately during installation, I did not make a separate partition for /home. Now I need to re-install but want to keep my music and films.  Any ideas... Proving Binomial Identity without calculus How to establish the following identities without the help of calculus:  For positive integer $n, $ $$\sum_{1\le r\le n}\frac{(-1)^{r-1}\binom nr}r=\sum_{1\le r\le n}\frac1r $$  and  $$\sum_{0\le r\le n}\frac{(-1)^r\binom nr}{4r+1}=\frac{4^n\cdot  n!}{1\cdot5\cdot9\cdots(4n+1)}$$ How to configure idle period for auto locking screen I just installed a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin).   I noticed that, there is no screensaver settings, which is fine. I like to control the period of time after which the blank screen is shown,which automatically locks the screen.  I do not want to enable screensaver. I only wish to be able to change the idle time period required to lock the screen automatically. It seems to me, it is by default around 10-15 minutes. Drop or change automatic migration-rejection based on non-existing tags I believe this feature creates more issues than it solves and thus would like to see it gone. (This is an out-growth of , which I repost here as it concerns several/all sites.)  The main reason why I think so is that there can be numerous reasons other than the subject being off-topic why some tag does not exist on some site, for one thing it could be a spelling, typesetting, or other formalistic reason. For example, for the two sites I know best MathOverflow and Mathematics hardly any of the most popular tags have a strictly matching tag on Mathematics but only because on MO there is the convention that certain tags are formatted in a specific way, which is not in place on Mathematics (for example nt.number-theory vs number-theory).  On top of that a user choosing the wrong site in the first place is likely not too well aware of the tags of the site they are posting too so that the question might be poorly tagged in the first place.         There is an additional detail I do not understand (it is obsolete if the actual request should be followed but in case it is not):   Even if on the source site a tag has a synonym and that synonym exists as a tag on the target site the migration is rejected. I do not understand the logic behind this at all. Possibly this is just an oversight.   I could also think of some other ways to improve the process while keeping the idea, but since I believe that it is best dropped I do not (yet) elaborate on this. Search/browse my own questions easily I don't see the statistics information that's supposed to be on the status bar running along the bottom of the main window towards the right in version 2.9. Can you give a simple intuitive explanation of IRLS method to find the MLE of a GLM? Background:   I'm trying to follow .  I understand the basics of MLE estimation: likelihood, score, observed and expected Fisher information and the Fisher scoring technique. And I know how to justify .    The question:   I can't understand even the first line of this method :(   What's the intuition behind the $z_i$ working variables defined as:  $$ z_i = \hat\eta_i + (y_i -\hat\mu_i)\frac{d\eta_i}{d\mu_i}$$  Why are they used instead of $y_i$ to estimate $\beta$?   And what's their relation with the response/link function which is the connection between $\eta$ and $\mu$  If anyone has a simple explanation or can direct me to a more basic-level text about this I would be grateful. How to I make Cisco WebEx work with 13.10 64bit? I'm having a very hard time getting webex to work under Saucy.  Up until now I've been able to just install a java plugin, install ia32-libs, and I was good to go.  With Saucy ia32-libs is gone and it's up to us to figure out which 32-bit libraries we need to install.    So the question is, how do I install WebEx on 64bit Saucy without ia32-libs? Improving your own suggested edit makes you leave the First Posts review queue When reviewing the First Posts (and Late Answers) review queue, after you suggest an edit, you're back in the review queue and the I'm Done button is activated. So far, so good, but when I realize I want to edit something else as well (I often forget the tags), I can click the 'edit' link again. When I'm done improving my suggested edit, I'm suddenly outside the review queue.    This does not happen if you have enough reputation (2k) to edit posts straight away; then you always stay in the review queue. How to render a background image in 2.8? I'm trying to "add" an 3D object onto a photo. I have added the photo to the scene in three ways so far, but none of them render (eevee):   Camera > Background Images Empty a. Add > Empty > Image (Empty gets added to current Collection) b. Add > Image > Backround (Empty gets added to Scene Collection)   These all show up in the 3D View and I was able to align the camera and the object so its perspective matches the scene in the photograph. But when I Render the scene, I only see the object, not the background image.  For the latter, it's simple: Empties are not rendered at all. There are few questions about this, since 2.8 has changed how it handles background images. The most popular seems this one (it includes references to others):      But I seem not to be able to find a method to have the background image render.  Another method might be to use the Compositor (Nodes) to Mix or Alpha Over an Image with the Render Layers. But this does not give the same alignment as achieved with the background image (also this requires that the World background does not get rendered (Alpha channel); for Eevee, this can be achieved by checking Film>Transparent).  What other options are there?  Docs: Could we have the ability to mark a change as minor in questions or answers? It would be nice to allow users to mark a change in an answer (or question) as minor (e.g. for a simple spelling or grammar correction). A change marked as minor wouldn't push the question on top of the list of questions on the home page or in the feeds. It wouldn't trigger any notification. This could be implemented with a "Minor change" checkbox when editing an entry (a la Confluence). What do you think? Meta SE account is shown 3 times in accounts Earlier today I asked my first question on this site. So Meta SE was added to my accounts. But this account is shown three times:        One of them also has a badge while the other two don't.   The network profile doesn't show MSE at all:        Also I have got this long wierd user name and  I am not able to change it. In the edit- display name this long name is not there.My user name on other sites is shown there.   After all this happened Meta SE questions are not getting loaded in my SE app.    Edit: the issue of name is solved now. I changed the profile picture and saved changes and it worked. Compile code using JavaFX 2.0 (using command line) Why is the present perfect used in headlines? In news reports, we often read or hear events introduced with the present perfect, and then the past simple like this:     The film star Jim Cooper has died of cancer. He was 68 and lived in Texas.   What's wrong if we use both first and second sentence in past simple?     The film star Jim Cooper died of cancer. He was 68 and lived in Texas. Do Irrationals form a group? It's true that the irrationals do not form a group under addition or multiplication, but I want to find a binary operation "∗" such that ($\mathbb R \setminus \mathbb Q,∗$) is a group. It is possible by transpose of operation from $\mathbb R$, but I want a explicit example. I am working on SharePoint 2010, I have a custom list with columns Start date , End date, Created by, Approval Status. I have created a page where I am looking to filter the list and show the result depending on the approval status which is a column in custom list as shown in figure . Can some one help me out on how to approach for this.
