auctex: Fontification of quotes
3.1.2 Fontification of quotes
-----------------------------
Text in quotation marks is displayed with the face
'font-latex-string-face'. Besides the various forms of opening and
closing double and single quotation marks, so-called guillemets (<<, >>)
can be used for quoting. Because there are two styles of using
them--French style: << text >>; German style: >>text<<--you can
customize the variable 'font-latex-quotes' to tell font-latex which type
you are using if the correct value cannot be derived from document
properties.
-- User Option: font-latex-quotes
The default value of 'font-latex-quotes' is 'auto' which means that
font-latex will try to derive the correct type of quotation mark
matching from document properties like the language option supplied
to the babel LaTeX package.
If the automatic detection fails for you and you mostly use one
specific style you can set it to a specific language-dependent
value as well. Set the value to 'german' if you are using >>German
quotes<< and to 'french' if you are using << French quotes >>.
font-latex will recognize the different ways these quotes can be
given in your source code, i.e. ('"<', '">'), ('<<', '>>') and the
respective 8-bit variants.
If you set 'font-latex-quotes' to nil, quoted content will not be
fontified.
