<blockquote type="cite" class="">I'm looking at the sentence suggesting that TeXShop pair quotation marks, saying "I reckon that in this<br class="">
case there shouldn't be a problem with the pairing. It's just a matter of telling TeXShop to recognize them as <br class="">
additional delimiters."<br class="">
<br class="">
Have you thought this through? I could just add " to the list for <. Then you could only click on the left<br class="">
quotation. If I did that, lots of people would file a bug report. Maybe I should search both left and right. <br class="">
Then I couldn't add to existing code; I'd have to write all new code.</blockquote>

<div class="">Personally, I *never* use such automatic matching or insertion.</div>
<div class="">It only makes sense while authoring document source that is largely natural language.</div>

</div>
<div class="">But I spend most of my time writing programming code for TeX & LaTeX.</div>
<div class="">All those quote and punctuation characters can have many varied meanings,</div>
<div class="">within different contexts. Most certainly they cannot be expected to always occur as pairs.</div>
<br class="">
<blockquote type="cite" class="">You don't have to be a programmer think about such issues.

<div class="">And if you are, you realise that they don’t always have much benefit.</div>
<br class="">
<blockquote type="cite" class="">Just tell me what to do in English, but make sure<br class="">
you have considered every possible case and worried about performance issues.<br class="">
