Guillemets in LaTeX («»)
There are several ways to do this:
- With standard methods, you will find
\guillemotleft
and\guillemotright
. For this you need\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
(which is recommended anyways). - Using the language switching capabilities of
babel
, e.g.\foreignlanguage
. - Using
csquotes
and its\foreignquote
command.
Personally, I would recommend the third option.
The similar looking mathmode symbols ≪ and ≫ (much less/greater than) are created with \ll
and \gg
.
There's also a convenient way to do it with Latin Modern:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\begin{document}
<<Quoted text>>.
\end{document}
You could type it directly if you use an utf8 encoding :
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
«for exemple»
\end{document}
But, the spacing isn't — at least for french typography — correct
