French quotation marks (« and ») and iPhone 4?

How can I get French quotation marks (« and ») on the iPhone 4?

Tap and hold the quotation mark key until the options appear on the left.  Slide your finger to the option desired.

  • Can I use intelligent quotation marks on my iPhone?

    On my Mac I use "intelligent" punctuation, for example intelligent quotation marks. Can I do this on the iPhone too?
    Thanks :)

    I assume you mean the feature where you press a single quotation mark button and the appropriate version of it appears depending on whether it's left or right of the next character? In which case, no, on iPhone you have to enter each quotation mark with different buttons.

  • Why does Pages not support French quotation marks?

    Hello,
    I've got the following problem:
    I like using Pages to write my texts. But unfortunately *Pages doesn't support French quotation marks, e.g. « Example. »* what Microsoft Office supports since years. Pages does know the other quotation marks „Example.“.
    An other particularity of French quotation marks is, that there is a special space between the quotation marks and the word required; those are called "espaces insécables" (indivisible spaces?) which word inserts automatically.
    The same problem exists with other special marks (i.e. "?", "!", ";" and ":"), which require an "espace insécable".
    This is just a killer-problem, when writing a paper, which is important. So I can't really use Pages and do have to use Word...
    Can anyone help me?
    I hope this will be fixed in the next version of iWork!
    Thanks a lot.

    I found a reference to the non-breaking space being alt+(space). I think it should work, but I'm surprised that it does when documents are imported from Word.
    I've looked for that on the swiss-french keyboard layout. In fact, it is shift + alt + space. But, as I already remarqued, this doesn't really help, because Pages obviously doesn't know how to treat those spaces, that is to say that there won't be any difference if you do a non-breaking space or a normal space...

    There are two models for supporting this, either you do it in the application (Microsoft) or you do it in the font file (Apple). There are further implications depending on whether you change the content of the character stream or the content of the glyph stream.
    The principle of is to preserve plain text as plain as at all possible. The more one manipulates plain text, the less possible it becomes to search plain text since search systems have to include private synonyms that ignore this or presuppose that.
    Apple's original idea was to do as much as possible in 'glyph space' / 'data space' in order to leave 'character space' / 'code space' in the font file as plain as possible. Finite state machines in Apple TrueType 2 are able to do the type of thing you are asking for, but at this point there is no TrueType 2 font file with these features.
    You may be right, I don't really know it. There must be another solution.
    Nevertheless, this problem has to be fixed by our little friends in Cupertino... I would like Page to work how I expect it to do that...
    Well, thanks a lot for all.

  • Bug report: French quotation marks

    I have the French keyboard enabled and there is no way, I have found, to enter the French quotation marks which are the following: « »
    This is not the same as entering << or >> because « and » are each one character and has its own typographic style.
    I thought the 1.1.4 update would have this solved but it doesn't seem to be.

    Send a request to have this feature to the Apple Feedback Team.

  • French quotation marks

    I'm trying to use Pages '08 in my French classes. I actually find it quite complete: the proofreader is particularly nice.
    One must-have feature is the use of French-style quotation marks. Called "guillmets", they look like pairs of less than signs and greater than signs. When running in a French locale, I still get American style quotations. Anyone know how to use the << and >> style?
    LC

    Funnily (or tragically) enough it seems like Pages does not support les guillemets natively. It does support German Anführungszeichen though, so they should be aware that there is a difference.
    Using a US-extended keyboard layout, you can type « using alt+backslash, and you can type » using shiftaltbackslash.

  • Indesign cc14 - quotation marks won't change to regular.

    My quotation marks won't change to regular marks
    my document has french quotation marks : << >>
    and i need the regular ones. " "
    i already checked the preferences / dictionary, but they're already set to regular.

    Language is assigned to text at the character level. Dictionary prefs affect the dictionary to be used when a particular language is assigned.
    You can see the language assigned to text either in the dropdown at the bottom of the Character panel, it's analog in the Control panel when in text mode, or in the definition dialogs for the styles applied to selected text.

  • (JPA) quotation marks around column names

    Hello,
    we use postgres in our project.
    But the table and column names are not in lowercase, (the first character is upper).
    Is there a way that the jpa puts quotation marks around the table and column names in the queries, because postgres converts them all to lowercase if there are no quotation marks.
    And then we get the error that the relation does not exist.
    thanks!
    Dirk

    You can quote database identifier by explicitly placing quotes around them. For example as follows
    @Table(name="\"TableName\"")

  • How to handle Quotation marks?

    Hi,
    I've got a problem with "Pages". As a German user I'd like to use German quotation marks, those that open low and close high. At the moment I can use only English quotation marks, opening and closing high. How can I fix this specific problem so that the quotation marks open low and close high automatically.
    Thanks for your help...
    Christian

    Tom,
    I'm not sure about an error.
    It seems that the cmd-key causes the keys shown in Keyboard Viewer not to work. As you mentioned, cmd is used for -Рcommands. I switched to Swiss layout and tried several combos with cmd: shift-alt-cmd-w just beeps, shift-alt-cmd-q should result in Πbut logged me off (shift-cmd-q!). So, I think Keyboard Viewer isn't reliable on key combos with cmd.
    Thus, I think the easiest way is to use my workaround. Keep in mind, once you've set up German and Swiss layouts to be accessible via menu, it's quite easy to switch between them.
    Hmm, I see, my above posting isn't very clear. The steps described behind the bullets need only to be made one time. Then you just need to click on the flag to change to another layout.
    How would you make a custom (Swiss) layout?

  • Typographically correct apostrophes and quotation marks? Bug?

    I am using the trial of Pages '08 (3.0) on a German Mac OS-X 10.4.10. Typographic quotation marks are switched on.
    Apostrophe:
    Whenever I type a phrase in English with an apostrophe, for instance the word "Let's" it uses a left single quotation mark (‘) instead of the right single quotation mark.
    Quotation marks and languages:
    Likewise, with typographic quotation marks set in the program settings, Pages uses the German quotation marks (which look like this: „word‟) although the text language is set to English. This behaviour occurs with English and English, GB. In Word this behaviour changes with the text language setting.
    I am a recent switcher, so maybe a solution to this problem is already known. If not, should I report this as a bug via feedback?

    Ian, yes, that would be Smart Quotes in English.
    You not being able to get German quotation marks in English would seem to be the same problem. I guess this is a bug then (or a missing feature) as I would expect this to change with each language (e.g. French has guillemots etc.).
    Would perhaps having several keyboard input setup in OS-X help here?
    Thanks for the link to Tom Gewecke's page. Tom, I'd be interested to hear of any other good recommendations. Are NeoOffice/OpenOffice good in this respect? Word compatibility and the ability to track changes is a must for me (as client's work with Office), but I'd rather invest in Microsoft Office when the new Universal version becomes available? I like the more simplified interface of Pages, which is why I'm trying the new version out via the trial.

  • Builder and quotation marks

    Since we don't need the quotation marks, why does the builder build using them????
    I'm trying to write the source by hand, and I use the builder to learn from.
    But any source that's been generated has all that excess stuff in it, so I have to go in and edit it out.
    Is there a toggle to turn that off?
    Marion

    This is primarily in support of object names using non-ascii characters. I believe table names can only contain A-Z 0-9 _ without using quotes around them. So, if you were French and wanted to create an employees table:
    CREATE TABLE EMPLOYÉS(ID NUMBER);
    CREATE TABLE EMPLOYÉS(ID NUMBER)
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00911: invalid characterWith quotes:
    CREATE TABLE "EMPLOYÉS"(ID NUMBER);
    Table created.Since APEX is supported 9 languages in addition to English, they have to expect they will encounter this issue when querying these tables as well. So, to be safe everything is enclosed in quotes. Quotes also support mixed case object names, but that is terrible, terrible path to go down. If anyone reading this that uses Oracle in another language cares to chime-in and correct / supplement my response, feel free.

    I have a  macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

    POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
    Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.

  • Quotation marks and apostophes reversed

    When editing text, I'm getting reversed quotation marks and apostophes if they are added to preexisting test. Quotation mark added to the end of a sentence that was already in the document will be pointed the wrong way. Erasing the last letter and retyping it with the quotation mark will perform correctly.
    The same happens when placing an apostophe on preexisting text.
    This happens in AppleWorks, TextEdit, and Tex-Edit Plus. This does NOT happen in Pages or InDesign. It only happens on one of my computers.
    Any ideas?

    Hello
    This may be due to a corruption of preferences files dedicated to the named applications.
    Try to trash these preferences files.
    It may also be due to corruption of some documents but I assumes that if it was specific to only some docs you had wrote this detail.
    Some system preferences may be corrupted too but I assumes that if one of them is corrupted, the corruption would strike on every applications on a single computer.

  • Getting Quotation Marks to look like they were mirrored. In GREP or Regular find and change

    Hello,
    Is there anyway to make quotation marks come out like this image below.
    Right now I have 2 text boxes to make it work, as I cannot get the first double quote to look like a mirrored version of the right double quote ;-(
    This is what it needs to look like.
    Thanks,

    When you copy someone else's copy of Sgt. Pepper you deprive the distibutor of his profit on the legitimate sale and you deprive Mssrs Mc Cartney and Starr of their rightful royalties, which may be piddling, but every little bit counts.
    Little bits do not count for as much as great big bits, and it is rule-worship to assume that they do. There is no proportionality in grouping very different sorts of violation together as if they were all in the same league of criminality. Picking up a dime someone has dropped in the street is completely different from breaking into someone's house and stealing a large quantity of money.
    You'd have a fit if you found out I was using a logo you designed, without permission, and was making money from publishing it. Suppose I hacked into your system and copied your last completed job and handed it to your client before you could deliver and bill them? Would you be upset if they went ahead and used your work and didn't bother to pay you because, after all, there was no 'property' involved and they have what they need without cost?
    Yes, I would regard that as a serious legal offense, and would follow it up with the full rigors of the law. But it is not "theft" in the proper sense of the word, in my opinion, because an idea (design, logo, etc.) is a type rather than a physical token. Its authorship must be protected, its origination acknowledged, monetarily rewarded, and all that, but the idea that it has an "owner" is the product of philosophical and logical confusion.
    Human tend to over-extend the concept of ownership to all sorts of things that cannot legitimately be owned, such as other people. Even nowadays, following the abolition of slavery, many people consider themselves the owners of their spouses, children, employees, pets, etc..

    PS: Forgot to add that I have paid for Sgt. Pepper four times already -- in mono vinyl, stereo vinyl, tape cassette, and CD. Don't you think it's time we all deserved an "upgrade"?

  • Adding a Kerning amount to the space between a digit and a quotation mark in GREP

    Hello,
    For some reason I am having a problem adding a Kerning amount between a digit and the Quotation mark in GREP.. Here is what I have :
    (?<=\d)\x{0022}
    I think the problem, is the character style lets me add a tracking amount, but not specify a kerning amount and that is what I really need. I just need a 150 Kern between the digit (sometimes a whole number or a fraction and the double quotation mark.
    Anyone out there know a good way to do this?
    thanks
    babs

    Almost right.
    No, you cannot set kerning in a character style (easily -- I think there was a trick to work around it, but I cannot recall what it was). Yep, you must apply tracking with the GREP style to part of the string. If you set the tracking for both characters, it will also be applied to the second one, making this wider as well.
    Set your GREP to this to prevent it:
    \d(?=~")
    (where the code ~" is equal to 'straight double quotes only').

  • My muse website, when uploaded, jumbles quotation marks, bullet points and apostrophes to appear as • and â€? Why?

    My muse website jumbles quotation marks, bullet points and apostrophes to appear as ’.
    Its fine when I preview in browser, only once it's been uploaded do the marks become jumbled. Why?

    Thanks Zak..The server host said that the jumbled marks are appearing as binary code while the rest of the text is appearing as "text".
    They believe that the problem may be occurring at the FTP. The server host is configured to host binary and unicode.
    They advised me to upload a zipped folder containing the site and they will try and open it at their end. Also, not sure if this is unique
    to Adobe font kits. Its from Adobe Font kit.
