Actually, that's not true. Org is creating the latex with the appropriate (left/right) quotes in place. Latex expects this. In a latex file, you need have written ``a quoted string'' instead of "a quoted string" for things to look right in the output. So it is indeed org's latex exporter that is handling quotes appropriately. -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.90.1 : using Org-mode version 7.7 (release_7.7.622.g92d30)
