<div>To clarify, you probably want these OFF.</div>

<div>TeX handles the quotes itself, from (double) the left and right straight quote characters.</div>

<div>Also turn off the extended dashes, so that repeated hyphens do NOT switch automatically into the endash (twice) or emdash (thrice) UTF8 characters.</div>

<div>Such editor ‘features’ are actually a nuisance; especially when you are working collaboratively.</div>

the same LaTeX engine, and maybe that’s the issue). Anyway, he traced it, he thinks, to the fact that what my TeXShop recognizes as single quote or as an accent ague (with \’), is not so recognized by his setup. We have made sure that our TeXShop preferences
are the same. This doesn’t arise in the main matter. But a name like “Poincar\’{e}” in the .idx file (I think) causes grief. (I should ask him to send me the .ilg file…)<br>
