Thank you yet another time for the helpful replies. You guys rock! A couple of things: Aditya, the \startMYLAYOUT .... \stopMYLAYOUT strategy seems to be perfect. Thanks! Now, from Mojca's reply: > MB, but it's been updated to the new version today anyway, so it might > be worth refreshing it anyway) Is it? I still see 2006-08-05 on the download page.... Anyway, I didn't really think I could come here and ask things directly to Hans! It seems a good idea, but first I'll try it with your instructions (see below). I want/need to familiarize myself with at least some of the technicalities. > \let\normalquotation=3D\quotation > \def\quotation#1 > {\bgroup\def\quotation##1{\quote{##1}}\normalquotation{#1}\egroup} This almost works like a charm! I say almost because the command \mainlanguage[fr] seems to interfere with it. When I comment out this line, it works, with single quotes (precisly, the six/nine single quotes) inside English double quotes (" and "). However, the outer quotes must be the French guillemets =AB =BB instead of " " (the inner ones are fine). That's why I used \mainlanguage[fr]. Can both work together? Now, about the XeTeX installation. A few things didn't go as smoothly as expected. Running fc-cache (with the appropriate parameters, of course) returned this: Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file fc-cache: "": skipping, no such directory ret =3D 0 fc-cache: succeeded And compiling the document returned the following: TeXExec | processing document 'd:\context\tex\quotes.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | utf mode forced (bom found) TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file quotes.top TeXExec | using randomseed 412 TeXExec | tex engine: xetex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en TeXExec | progname: context This is XeTeX, Version 3.141592-2.2-0.995 (Web2C 7.5.5) \write18 enabled. (WARNING: translate-file "natural.tcx" ignored) kpathsea: Running mktexfmt cont-en.fmt I can't find the format file `cont-en.fmt'! TeXExec | runtime: 0.321 By the way, I'm still unsure about what sort of resulting file this compiling is supposed to give, and how this integrates with my normal way of building a PDF output with SciTE. Again, thank you for your patience! Jeff Smith
