French quotation marks \og \fg support

French quotation marks \og \fg support

[Pierre Willaime]

Hello,

I have a bunch of LaTeX files using \og and \fg commands. These
commands are provided by babel package for French and produces French
quotation marks ("<<", ">>").

Pandoc skips these commands when converting from LaTeX to html (see
below). Is there a simple workaround?

Minimal working example:
test.tex
---
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\begin{document}
\og test \fg{}
\end{document}
---

$ pandoc test.tex --verbose -o test.html
[INFO] Could not load include file 'inputenc.sty' at line 2 column 28
[INFO] Could not load include file 'fontenc.sty' at line 3 column 25
[INFO] Could not load include file 'babel.sty' at line 4 column 27
[INFO] Skipped '\og ' at line 6 column 5
[INFO] Skipped '\og ' at line 6 column 5
[INFO] Skipped '\fg{}' at line 6 column 15


$ pandoc -v
pandoc 2.9.2.1
Compiled with pandoc-types 1.20, texmath 0.12.0.2, skylighting 0.8.5

You are getting errors that the packages inputenc, fontenc and babel cannot be
loaded. You may need to check your LaTeX installation.

You could create a new file `quotes.tex` with the following content

    \def\og{« }
    \def\fg{»}

Then pass that file as an additional argument when calling pandoc (must
go *before* the actual LaTeX input):

    pandoc quotes.tex test.tex

My LaTeX installation works fine (it is Texlive on Debian). I can
compile without issue in commandline and with Emacs+Auctex.

Why I am getting these errors?

I'm sorry, I read your message too hastily. I now see you're converting *from*
LaTeX, not *to* LaTeX. That means your LaTeX installation isn't even relevant.

> Why I am getting these errors?

Apparently, the Pandoc LaTeX reader doesn't know where to find them, or how to
read them.  They are the cause, I assume, of the fact that \og and \fg aren't
converted, because one of those files is where they're defined.

Have you tried Albert Krewinkel's solution? It sounds like it could solve your
problem.

Alternatively, a search and replace in your source files may be a solution
(provided you can modify them). Pandoc supports Unicode, so it should be able to
deal with « » without problems.

[John MacFarlane]

It might make sense to support these commands in the LaTeX
reader, so if you want to put an issue on the tracker asking for
that, go ahead.
