How to automatically change the style of quotation marks

[pummelfee]

In a layout i need to have the „ and ” quotations displayed as » and «

There is the Text Style Panel, but i can’t find any in-deep documentation. So my question is; is there a chance to make a setup for a textstyle that makes such replacements maybe with a text-style? I see there in this panel something like „typographic variants” but i can’t use it without a manual.

Apropos replacements... it seems that it is impossible to make a search & replace just for a selected text frame. Publisher always searches the whole document.

There is a Publisher Preference, under Auto-Correct I think, to use "Language Dependent Quote Marks". Perhaps that would do what you want, if you have the Language set properly for the text and if Publisher's idea of the correct quote marks for that language matches yours.

Text Styles will only be useful for this, I think, to:

1. Set the Language; and then
2. If your Font has typographic variant characters for the quotation marks, to tell Publisher to use them.

It's easy to setup #1. Setting up #2 depends on the font supporting the function, and I'm not sure which fonts do that. But for some Help info on those functions: https://affinity.help/publisher/en-US.lproj/pages/Text/opentype_fonts.html

Thank you very much, dear Walt!

I am not sure if i understand this correctly. With auto-correct i make a setup for all documents, right? But the replacement i meant is a typographic aspect for just one customer and not in general.

The auto-correct options apply to all documents, but only to text that has a specific language.

If that customer is the only one who uses that language then you're fine. Otherwise you could disable the auto-correct option for your other customers.

This is an auto-correction feature, meaning it will occur only when typing text, not when importing or pasting text. For the last ones, some search & replace will be needed.
