I have a quotation which extends for multiple paragraphs. The literary convention is that there is no end-quote at the end of each paragraph, except for the last one.
However, this seems to be incompatible with the package csquotes
(which I am using so that I don't have to convert every instance of "..."
in my copy-pasted Word document into LaTeX quotation marks).
The following code causes 2 errors, and makes every subsequent quotation mark the wrong orientation…
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\MakeOuterQuote{"}
\begin{document}
"This is a quotation," he said. "It continues onto the next paragraph.
"Here is the continuation of my quote. As per literary convention,
there is no end-quote at the end of the previous paragraph."
\end{document}
Best Answer
Instead of having unbalanced quotes, you could use
csquotes
s possibility to configure a "middle quote". Interestingly, this is pre-configured for french "guillemets" style, but not for american.The following example, derived from the original setting for
american
language, seems to do what you want.Adapt to your own taste.
