I had tested in bookdown template, and found that “”, which is Chinese quotes, would be translated to ``,''。 But if you write “” in a block or other begin,end blocks, the Chinese quotes, “”, would not be translated to ``,''。So you will get different Chinese quotes, in the final pdf file. Can I set in some place to turn off such translation? Thank you.
I use another method.
% 解决双引号不一致的问题。
\newcommand\cqh{“} % chinese quote head
\newcommand\cqt{”} % chinese quote tail
or add space after ``''. The solution is not very good. I add md_extensions: -smart make no sense.
For English, `` '' works very well, but In Chinese, it becomes ugly. Hope pandoc become good enough.

I'm using latex to model a few functions using Z-Notation, however, I'm having issues showing a string for output. In this reduced example code, the text in the quotes has a different formatting from what I would expect. What can I use to keep the formatting the text inside the quotes to be the same in the code snippet?
Edit: The overDraftMessage should be messageOutput, missed changing this when creating a reduced example.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{oz} % oz or z-eves or fuzz styles
\begin{document}
\begin{schema}{function}
messageOutput!: $STRING$ \\
\where
messageOutput! = ''Output looks strange.'' \\
\end{schema}
\end{document}
Solution from #lburski works, but tilde is not for this purpose. It should be used to make hard space (non-breaking space). To write space in whitespace insensitive environments, you need to escape it - write backslash before every space: ''Output\ looks\ strange''.
If you want a space between the words on your string ''Output looks strange.'' then try putting a tilde '~' between those words. So you string ends up being ''Output~looks~strange.''

How can i do that with BBEdit Find/Replace/Grep?
Find works ok with
[\,](\w)
but i can't figure out the coresponding part for replace.
Find: (\,)(\w)
Replace: \1 \2
Note: You need to hit the spacebar between \1 and \2. Works on my computer with BBedit v13
I complicates matters.
Pattern like Letter,Letter can also be found with ,\b.
\b is at the beginning or end of a word. \b in a regular expression means "word boundary".
The replacement is then done with ,_
Nota Bene: _ is a "Space" after ,
you could just replace all commas with a comma-space and then replace all space-space with space
I'm using the following code snippet:
Entity${0/(\w+)/\u\1/g}
This ensures the first character is uppercase and the rest is lowercase. How would I also ensure that hypens (-) and special characters are removed?
Thanks in advance.
Figured it out by doing the following:
Entity${0/(\w+)([-\s]*)/\u\1/g}
At the moment, this only removes hypens (-). I'd like to remove all characters except alphanumeric characters.
If there's a cleaner way, I'd be more than welcome to accept your answer instead.
I am writing a document in spanish, and I'm trying to add 'í' to the word
Montréal.However if I put the i like this: \'{e} in the code below, I just get a space instead of the é. Why is this not working?
\begin{tabbing}%
\hspace{2.3in}\= \hspace{2.6in}\= \kill % set up two tab positions
{\bf Engineer}\> Panagro S.A.\> Summers 2004-2010\\
\>Montréal, Colombia
\end{tabbing}\vspace{-15pt}
Also I might add that when I try putting Montréal outside of the tabbing block, it works fine.

Tabbing environment
Some of the accent marks used in running text have other uses in the tabbing environment. In that case they can be created with the following command:
\a' for an acute accent
\a` for a grave accent
\a= for a macron accent

Related question on tex.stackexchange with a great solution to accented characters.
Save your file as UTF-8 and put
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
in your preamble.
Then you can just type the characters normally into your source file.
Or, use XeLaTeX which accepts UTF-8 input natively. In that case you need to add
\usepackage{fontspec}
to your preamble.
If your text editor doesn't support UTF-8 encoded files, you should probably get another editor. But if you're stuck with one, you can also use:
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} % for PCs
\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc} % for Macs
and save the files in the default encoding for your machine.
Thanks to Alan Munn for the solution!
I am trying to write programming code in latex using the verbatim environment, but when I write
\begin{verbatim}
char ch = 'x';
\end{verbatim}
then the ' -characters around x are displayed incorrectly (they look "curly"). How can I fix this problem?
Load the upquote package to fix this issue in verbatim mode.
If you want straight quotes in monospaced text mode (e.g., \texttt{...}), or indeed in any other font, then you can use the \textquotesingle command defined in the textcomp package:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{upquote,textcomp}
\begin{document}
\newcommand\upquote[1]{\textquotesingle#1\textquotesingle}
\verb|'c'| \texttt{\upquote{h}}
\textsf{\upquote{h}} \upquote{h}
\end{document}
This will work well for fonts in any encoding rather than depending on a specific glyph slot (such as \char13 in the default OT1 encoding).
Adding \usepackage{upquote} to my preamble was sufficient.
Perhaps older versions of LaTeX or upquote required more work.

What is wrong?
New
If you want to get something like this
write
\makeatletter
\let \#sverbatim \#verbatim
\def \#verbatim {\#sverbatim \verbatimplus}
{\catcode`'=13 \gdef \verbatimplus{\catcode`'=13 \chardef '=13 }}
\makeatother
For displaying source code, you might consider using the listings package; it is quite powerful and offers an option to display “straight” quotation marks.
If you're seeing curly single right quotes in a verbatim environment, then the single right quote in your typewriter font is curly, and that's the correct one to use for what you're doing (which I assume is displaying some C code).
\textsf{``} and \textsf{''} come pretty close to straight quotes. No need for using any special packages.
This is what I got from another source, and this works.
Use `` to start the double quotes (this symbol is below ~ symbol on our keyboard)
Use '' to close the double quotes (this symbol is below the " symbol on our keyboard)
So, `` quote double, unquote double''
Same goes for single quotes, `quote single, unquote single'
