[OS X TeX] Newbie Questions

[Claus Gerhardt]

Load the babel package with the option german
RequirePackage[german]{babel}

Then, the German quotes are available with the command

\glqq  (German left double quotes) resp.

\grqq (German right double quotes)

No further packages are needed. Consult the babel documentation.

I recommend using a macro

\newcommand{\cq}[1]{\glqq{#1}\grqq\,}
