Quotation Mark in LaTeX – Left (“) right (”)

In this tutorial, I will show you how we can write all types of quotation marks in LaTeX.

Name	Command	Output
Single right quotation	'
Double right quotation	''
Double right quotation	"
Single left quotation	`
Double left quotation	``

In LaTeX, if we use ‘ (single quote) or ” (single quote two times) or ” (a double quote), all of these will produce the right quotation mark symbol.

We use these symbols generally at the end of our quote text.

But if we want to wrap a sentence or text in quotation marks, we need to use the quotation mark at the very beginning and at the end.

The direction of the quotation mark should be opposite to each other.

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

She said "I like CodeSpeedy"

\end{document}

Output:

As you can see, the quotation mark at the beginning of the quote is reversed. We need to fix it.

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

She said ``I like CodeSpeedy"

\end{document}
