address@hidden The funny quoting below is to make the printed version look
address@hidden correct. FIXME.
One common way to quote is the typewriter convention, which quotes
using straight apostrophes @t{'like this'} or double-quotes @t{"like
this"}. Another common way is the curved quote convention, which uses
-left and right single or double quotation marks @t{‘like this’} or

+QUOTATION MARK. On text terminals which cannot display these
+characters, the Info reader might show them as the typewriter ASCII
+quote characters.

Electric Quote mode makes it easier to type curved quotes. As you

@code{electric-quote-chars}, a list of four characters, where the
items correspond to the left single quote, the right single quote, the
left double quote and the right double quote, respectively, whose
-default value is @code{'(?‘ ?’ ?“ ?”)}.
